Indigenous Pact Policy Hub

Indigenous Pact Policy Hub

Designed and built a living policy hub (Coda), where workers:

-> seek and store knowledge resources, incl. internal database of tribal health outcomes
-> synthesize and sensemake
-> collaboratively draft State policy briefs that impact tribes across the US

discovery -> design -> build -> iterate

Hackathon - AI Tech Stack Diagnostic

Hackathon - AI Tech Stack Diagnostic

Built in Coda + OpenAI in 3 hours:

🛠️ You chat with AI to describe your messy processes

🤖 AI documents your processes and tools

🤖 AI figures out what’s working, what’s redundant, and where automation could bring some sanity

📋 You get a diagnostic report with practical recommendations

Humans at Work Cards

Humans at Work Cards

Developed a reusable prompt that prompts you to reflect on your unique human value.

It's an experiment in using AI to make us more human, to drive introspection and reflection.

It pushes the prompt-as-product pattern, exploring the limits & capabilities of a single prompt.

Imagine Canada's Rapid Response Network

Imagine Canada's Rapid Response Network

-> members sign up, follow issues of interest
-> IC shares issue updates, requests input
-> members submit questions, experiences
-> IC sensemakes, drafts policy briefs


Scouts of Self-Doubt

Scouts of Self-Doubt

Sought to subvert the Mar '25 trend of packaging your shiniest self on LinkedIn for style points.

Built a prompt that digs through your chatGPT history and finds your limiting traits.

Try the prompt (link below), get your Scout, then keep chatting to drive self-awareness and continuous renewal.

Strange Songs for Synths

Strange Songs for Synths

I used to write electronic music, like a mix of 80s pop, 90s grunge, and synthesizers.

I learned that making music is like painting an abstract self-portrait - it's how you'd be represented if you were converted to sound.
