For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of research, strategy, and communications, helping organizations understand and respond to social, cultural, and technological change. Drawing on my experience as a strategic advisor across technology, media, design, and education, as well as my training as a social scientist, I help organizations design research studies, uncover cultural and consumer insights, identify emerging trends, and translate complex findings into actionable strategies and compelling communications.

​

My clients range from established technology companies and global manufacturers to research labs, design studios, and nonprofit organizations. I also collaborate with founders, executives, researchers, and creative professionals to develop thought leadership, communicate expertise, and bring ambitious research and publishing projects to life.

​

Alongside my consulting practice, I am the author of six published and forthcoming books on culture, media, and technology, including titles published by Harvard University Press, MIT Press, and the University of Chicago Press. I am also a Professor and Chair of Culture and Media Studies at The New School, home to Parsons School of Design, where I direct the Social Tech Impact Lab, an initiative through which I collaborate with emerging researchers to investigate the social and cultural implications of new technologies.
