I have always worked at the intersection of culture, design, writing, and technology. For over a decade, I've examined thousands of sources to research the world's positive trends. I've been a manager with Meetup, a web site that helps millions of people self-organize into local community groups, and now work for Proust.com. I am an experienced public speaker on topics such as critical thinking, democracy, peace, and technology. In addition, I'm a member of Mensa and a professional artist.
