About

I build technology that thinks, and cares. I lead the Human-AI Futures Lab, incubated at Ammara Technologies, where we reimagine how humans and AI can co-create ethical, inclusive futures across the Global South. Founder. Feminist. Product Strategist. Author of uncomfortable truths and unexpected stories. After 22 years in tech and leadership, I stepped off the linear path to create products that challenge the status quo, from clean-tech ventures to an AI-led health platform built on empathy, not just efficiency. Today, the Futures Lab brings that same spirit of disruption to questions of governance, gender, and digital identity. I write to ask better questions, about gender, identity, power, and the digital future we're coding into existence. My upcoming books explore what it means to be human in an age of algorithms, blending systems thinking with satire, research, and raw honesty. When I’m not building or writing for grownups, I tell stories to children about climate, courage, and curiosity, through an illustrated series, that sneaks big ideas into small hearts. I believe in logic and compassion. In code with conscience. In showing up, whether it’s to pitch a product, rewrite a bias, or walk my indie dogs. If you’re building something brave, or breaking something toxic, I’d love to connect.
