LAW, CULTURE
& TECHNOLOGY
I produce culture and design the infrastructures that sustain it.
My work sits at the intersection of culture, law and decentralised technology. I build identity architectures, governance systems and cultural platforms that enable collective coordination without eroding human agency.
The work is across the full arc of cultural realisation – from conceptual architecture to institutional strategy and public activation.
I operate at root cause, examining how identity, creativity and value shape collective life.
My practice begins at the foundation: identity, authority
and value. These essentials shape how institutions govern, how communities organise, and how legitimacy is recognised. I examine how they are structured within law and emerging technologies, and how they evolve as machine-mediated systems begin to participate in economic and civic life.
Across decentralised networks and established institutions, I design governance models and identity frameworks while also producing cultural work in lived contexts. I have built stages as well as systems – running a record label, opening a creative space, curating encounters and activating ideas in public life. For me, theory and practice are inseparable. Structure must be tested in culture. Culture must be held within structure.
My work spans human rights, creative practice, decentralised coordination and the ethical architecture of emerging technologies. The through-line is coherence: aligning cultural legitimacy, lawful authority and technological coordination without eroding human agency.
I am interested in futures that remember where they come from – systems capable of memory, plurality and emergence. The aim is not simply to design frameworks or produce events, but to cultivate conditions under which equity, accountability and collective imagination can endure.
Key Initiatives
LAW
Governance, human rights and institutional design
Developing frameworks for legitimacy, delegation and accountable coordination across public and decentralised systems.
CULTURE
Creative Production & Cultural Infrastructure
Producing theatre, building labels and developing
cultural infrastructures
where ideas are embodied, contested and shared in public life.
TECHNOLOGY
Identity architecture and emerging technologies
Exploring lawful delegation and machine-mediated coordination, with a focus on preserving human agency and accountable authority within autonomous systems.
Selected Work:
SILT – Self-Actualised Identity Layer
An identity architecture grounding digital agency in lawful capacity, merchant instruments and verifiable cryptographic claims. Designed as a semantic layer distinguishing living authority from delegated execution across decentralised networks.
Amnesty Human Rights DAO
A governance and token modelling framework developed to explore participatory decision-making within a global human rights movement. Structured for transparency, staged milestone delivery and institutional accountability.
Authority is never neutral.
It is designed, encoded and performed.
I work on the architecture of that design.
25 years across law, cultural production and governance design
Projects spanning New Zealand, Asia-Pacific and global Web3 ecosystems
Collaborations across NGOs, festivals and decentralised networks.
If you are designing institutions, protocols or cultural systems for the coming decades, I am open to collaboration.
