“I truly believe that social media, as currently structured, has been a net negative on the world, incentivizing us to languish in a react first, think last culture guided by what engages and enrages us the most. It suffocates curiosity and empathy.”

What do you do?
I like to create art and share things that bring me joy.
Why?
I spent 12 years burning out in corporate tech, so I decided to leave my job and focus on creative pursuits. I have next to nothing figured out, yet I am infinitely happier than I was.
What should we read?
I'm not the voracious reader I once was, but I will always have the softest spot in my heart for Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez.
