Designer, city builder, bridge between worlds

Hi there, lovely to meet you. I'm a designer turned founder based mostly in New York, building at the intersection of cities, technology, and culture.

Most recently, I co-founded a digital special economic zone in Africa, where we raised $100M to build a mini city district in Nigeria. Previously, I founded a social project and brought together thousands of strangers over tea.

Nowadays, I spend a lot of time in China, studying how cities like Shenzhen come to life. If you're curious about China, I like inviting friends on curated business tours. If you're interested, fill out this form :)

On weekends, you'll find me traversing different neighborhoods on bikes or public transit, staring at beautiful architecture and thinking about how our built environment shapes who we become — I write about them here.
