a space for exploring the edges of bioethics, design, and embodied practice
Both and Neither is my container for facilitation, teaching, writing, and thinking out loud about what it means to make the right thing the easy thing in healthcare innovation, and how our bodies know the answers.
I work at the intersection of bioethics, embodied wisdom, and strategic design—not because it's trendy to integrate these things, but because in healthcare and biotech, they're inseparable. Bodies aren't abstractions. Ethics isn't compliance. Design decisions are existential decisions.
I have spent years building UX research and design practices in research software and civic technology, working with organizations like the Software Sustainability Institute, Mozilla Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. That work—understanding how researchers, clinicians, and communities actually use technology alongside training in hatha yoga and somatic awareness —directly informs how I think about embodied bioethics and strategic design now.
Through Both and Neither, I facilitate seasonal reflections, speak at conferences (including an upcoming keynote on making the right thing the easy thing), and work with organizations and community leaders exploring hard questions about what we're building and why.

I write about bioethics, embodiment, and what it means to build things that take bodies seriously. Making sense at the intersection of ethics, design, and science.
If you're working on healthcare products navigating ethical complexity, building teams where embodiment matters, or curious about what "both and neither" actually means in practice.
