Hi, I'm Jolie…
Science deserves a story.
I'm curating The Distressed Scientists' Department, an experiment in how modern science and research is experienced. I draw much inspiration from the World's Fairs, IBM x Eames x Bauhaus, and the Renaissance, and aspire to see the modern equivalent take shape. So far, this has taken the form of a researcher-creative art exhibition in San Francisco (with upcoming editions taking shape in New York and London, see images below), a photobook, and of course, writing. You can subscribe here for updates.
I'm also supporting creative research communications at Renaissance Philanthropy, with past collaborations with Schmidt Sciences and ARIA. I've been invited to curate for spaces like the Chase Center and had byline features in publications like Asterisk Magazine.

I focused on neuroscience at MIT and bioinformatics/politics at the University of Toronto, while:
🇺🇸 leading brand/creative, working on media projects, and fundraising 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 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 an avid collector of magazines and photobooks, which construct my visual reference library.
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 and Calgary, and hold special places in my heart for Toronto, Boston, New York City, and Singapore.
