About
I'm a performer, researcher, contemplative, and experience architect. I was born in the US and grew up in Medellín, Colombia. I graduated from MIT, where I studied Computation and Cognition as well as Theater Arts.
My mission is to investigate the material and subjective foundations of our world, and to apply that knowledge in the service of compassionate intelligence, more joyful human-computer interactions, and more effective psychiatry. I'm open for professional collaborations, artistic projects, and fun adventures.
I design bridges between the profound ideas of art, science, philosophy, and spirituality and the intimate, tangible wisdom of our daily lives. I aspire to tell beautiful and compelling stories to guide us across.
I speak English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I get along very well with old people and babies. I'm obsessed with mangos, spicy food, and guacamole.
