Nothing beats collaborative niche construction at human scale, co-creating egalitarian & neurodiverse ecologies of care that are understandable by future generations of humans & software tools.

My life

Autistic human animal

The more we help each other to question in ways we otherwise wouldn’t – and correspondingly discover new insights about the world and ourselves, the more we are able to learn from each other, and the more we start to understand each other. The gift that we all bring to the world is the (re)generative potential of all the trusted relationships that we co-create.

So far

Instigator of the MODA + MODE approach for transdisciplinary knowledge creation and evolutionary design

The MODA + MODE thinking tools and agent based semantic modelling techniques help teams to avoid the traps of single paradigm approaches, and allow knowledge to flourish in the open creative spaces between disciplines and organisational silos.

I enjoy are catalysing intersectional solidarity via quarterly participant driven Open Space events that provide a safe space for neurodivergent, indigenous, and otherwise marginalised people to engage in omni-directional learning and mutual aid. I also offer advice to neurodiventures and to Autistic people interested in forming neurodiventures or in transitioning their current team(s) to a non-hierarchical neurodiventure operating model.

I am part of the Design Justice Network and a trustee of the Autistic Collaboration Trust – a mutual support hub for neurodivergent individuals and ventures.

At work

Co-creator of inclusive collaborative edges

I am a partner at S23M and have a background in mathematics. In close collaboration with subject matter experts I uncover, validate, and activate deep domain knowledge by synthesising unique experiences and perspectives.

As part of my work I encourage organisations to address challenges that go beyond the established framework of research in industry, government and academia, often by visualising knowledge flows and domain knowledge with the help of white boards and other simple tools. The initial diagrams and pictures are easily formalised with the help of category theory, model theory, and denotational semantics, resulting in visual domain specific modelling languages, formal semantic interoperability constraints, and related software tools.
