Expert network & advisory board

A network that spans research, industry and deep-tech — experienced practitioners who work with me continuously, not one-off, as the work and the products behind it take shape. Their experience runs through organizations like LEGO, IBM, DeepL, Parloa, Stanford, Northwestern, Fujitsu, Kearney, Procter & Gamble and GIZ.

Background

Design and research at the human–AI interface — equal parts creative and technical. Turning frontier AI into tools people can actually use, and building own products, grounded in research on how people think, create and learn. That research — on IT-supported creativity, at the intersection of neuroscience, computer science and business — spans guest lectures, mentoring and publications with UC Berkeley, Northwestern, the Hasso Plattner Institute, the Stanford d.school and the LUT AI & HCI Brain Lab.

Podcast spotlight

Faster Than Evolution

Faster Than Evolution puts you in conversation with leaders from organizations like LEGO, Stanford and Anthropic — and others across global corporations, frontier research labs and emerging ventures. In rich episodes we explore how we are currently reshaping the way we will work, learn and live – in the futures ahead.

Newsletter

Notes from building at the human–AI interface.

Every two weeks: new builds, notes, explorations — the interaction patterns that are working for agentic AI, and short field notes you can put to use.
