My professional aim is to serve as a conduit between technology and the people it shapes: an ambassador to the builders, leaders, and organizations learning to translate digital tools to the real world. It’s a perspective shaped by two decades of experience at the intersection of the digital sphere and the built environment—across tech, marketing, real estate, design, and urbanism.
About
I've spent my career helping the built environment find its voice in a digital age, founding Knightsbridge Park, the nation's preeminent marketing firm and advisory to the luxury real estate sector. There, I’ve led the marketing of more than $25 billion in global real estate for brands like Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, and Related, and worked alongside Google’s Sidewalk Labs division to bring their AI-driven offerings to the industry.
I’ve also spent years exploring the nature of spaces themselves: homes, workplaces, in-between ‘third places,’ and communities at large—and how technology increasingly shapes them. Yet the results have been more complicated than many of us imagined.
Digital life was supposed to enrich our relationship to place and to one another. In many ways, the opposite has happened: we communicate more and connect less; we have more tools and fewer gathering places. In a moment of growing atomization, the questions that matter most aren't just about hardware and software, but about the design and character of the spaces and communities where real life unfolds.
I hold an A.B. in Government from Harvard, and care deeply about housing equity, zoning reform, and the conviction that how we build determines who gets to participate richly in public life.
What I'm Working On
The agency I founded, and the nation's preeminent marketing firm for the real estate sector. We've shaped campaigns for Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Related, and many more across the US and the world. We help the built environment find its voice in a digital world.
Visit the agencySocial infrastructure encompasses the physical spaces, facilities, and human networks that support community wellbeing, social connections, and quality of life. Our nonprofit works at the intersection of zoning reform, housing equity, and the legal frameworks that determine how communities grow, who gets to live in them, and whether they're designed to keep people apart or bring them together.
Well-conceived places bring people together. Conversely, bad policy makes good design impossible. We advocate for common-sense approaches to the built environment—communities structured to foster interaction, collaboration, and genuine civic life.

Spearheading smaller-scale, thoughtful residential development in New York and beyond—projects grounded in new urbanist principles, walkability, and the conviction that the design of a place has more to do with how well people live than almost anything else.
I advise individuals, brands, businesses, and organizations—and also offer pro bono work for people and causes I believe in. A few areas where I can help:
We built powerful technologies to connect us, but they’ve fallen short. The challenge now is translating our capabilities into better ways of living, connecting, and building the world around us.
Conversations
Amidst a staggering explosion of both progress and alienation, I’m also interested in asking how innovation and informed design can deepen, rather than undermine, our experience of place, community, and institutions, setting us up to thrive as individuals and as a collective.
I'm interested in the forces reshaping where and how we live—from technology and cities to policy and design—and how we might do it better. If any of the below resonates, I'd welcome a conversation.
