Watched an interview with TAFKAP—The Artist Formerly Known as Prince—where a reporter asked him, “words & lyrics: do you mean be intentional?”

He replied, “In general, is what I mean,” and clarified, “you’re here to encourage or discourage.” That line stays with me.

For me, #ethicaltech & #design works the same way: every #choice either encourages or discourages.

I bring people together through care, kindness, and connection, weaving spaces where intention matters.

Less about code, more about how we hold each other in community.

If Prince could remind us that words shape worlds, then tech & design can too. Let’s choose to encourage. Let’s build with heart.

👉 Join me in shaping tech that listens, connects, and cares.

🔥 “Creative Technologist.” Sounds cool, but what does it mean?

I’m not a coder. My strengths are communication, community building, and organizing events that bring people together.

For me, it means using tech as a creative tool to connect people. I try to design spaces where care, empathy, and community come first.

Think of it like this:
✨ A chef who invents new kitchen tools
✨ A musician who builds the instruments they play
✨ Tech as rhythm and presence—creating space for people to gather

Tech isn’t just platforms or protocols. It’s about people. When we center care and empathy, we move from networking to real connection.

💬 That’s what I mean when I say I’m a Creative Technologist.

How do you explain your role outside your field?

"Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love."
Turkish proverb

I believe in sensual tech where connection feels like consent.
Like curiosity. Like warmth. Like being seen.

Have you felt this too? The difference between being visible and being truly seen.

Backstory: went to Purdy’s Chocolate and found out they no longer carry Turkish Delight.
Heartbroken. That’s my fave!. :(

Turkish Delight reminds me of sensual systems:
Structure that holds softness.
Softness that invites surprise.
Surprise that lingers, sweet and slow.
Tech can feel like that too when it’s built with care.

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.

One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.
