Science deserves a story.
The way we do research and science is changing. The era of simply a paper is sunsetting — we need narratives, demos, and tools that capture technical rigour and human context.
I'm curating The Distressed Scientists' Department, a science haus for researcher-creatives — scientists who believe research should be visible and communicative across mediums, not just a pipeline of PDFs. I've taken these ideas into the form of a print book, an inaugural researcher-creative exhibition in San Francisco, and early editions taking shape in New York and London. You can subscribe here for updates.
My work has led to collaborations with Renaissance Philanthropy, Schmidt Sciences, and ARIA. I've had byline features in Asterisk Magazine and invitations to curate for spaces like the Chase Center.

I focused on neuroscience at MIT and bioinformatics/politics at the University of Toronto, while:
🇺🇸 fundraising, working on media projects, and strategy-ing for Analogue, a R&D fund
🇺🇸 building Simulacra, a synthetic data platform for predictive consumer analytics;
🇺🇸 advising early stage teams like Cradle (Until Labs) and PyraSim on GTM, growth, and strategy;
🇨🇦🇲🇾 researching health economics and epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health;
🇨🇦 writing health policy and risk tooling for Health Canada/Canadian Food Inspection Agency;
My calling is in the craft. I grew two content platforms to 500M+ views and still film with creative teams from time to time, including a documentary circulated by the Malaysian NIH.
I'm about to visit my 55th country (track my travels) and host dine clubs around the world. I split my time between San Francisco, Toronto, and Calgary, and hold special places in my heart for Boston, New York City, and Singapore.
