SPACE DESIGN
We are normalizing life beyond Earth, but innovation without humanity is a missed orbit. I bridge that gap—merging sustainability with habitability to ensure that as space becomes accessible, humans don't just survive—THEY flourish!
Human-centric Space Habitability: I apply a forward-thinking lens to how humans live and work in outer space. By balancing sensory anchors from Earth with the extraordinary opportunities of zero-gravity, I help design environments that optimize human health and resilience for long-duration missions.
Strategic Sustainability: I consult with aerospace companies to build a sustainable future that ensures long-term access to space for all, leading to better outcomes as we launch, orbit, and colonize.
Space-Adjacent Integration: I guide Earth-bound organizations through the "space-curious" transition, helping them harness the power of the space economy to innovate and expand their own missions.
My super-power is knowing how to harness the talent you ALREADY HAVE ON YOUR TEAM… I’m not a rocket scientist, but I like them, they like me, and we’re unstoppable together.
My work focuses on answering questions like these:
Habitation: What are the best practices for designing life beyond this planet that actually optimize human health?
Legacy: How can we learn from our mistakes in LEO to proactively plan for lunar and planetary sustainability?
Earth-Benefit: In what ways can we harness space to enable a more healthy, resilient Earth?
Integrity: How do we keep space from becoming the next “green-washed” industry?
Economics: How do we build a strong financial case for sustainability within a space organization?
