Re-Centering The Human
Recentering ourselves in our own decision making.
Your decision environments are being redesigned without you.
We live in hybrid human-tech decision environments. Every time you open an app to find a partner, manage your time, or consume information, you are engaging with choicetech. It’s a collaborative process between your judgment and a set of pre-determined defaults designed to change how and what you decide.
The problem isn't always that these systems have a sinister motive (though sometimes they do); it’s that most people have no idea how the decision-making is actually happening. When you don't understand the architecture of the tools you use, and the decisions you make, it’s hard to tell where your own intentions end and the software’s logic begins.
Our lives are already completely infused with and reliant on choicetech
The question is no longer if these tools are changing what we think, do, and choose, but how. Every day, we make many of our choices, big and small, within choicetech, digital information tools like dating apps, social platforms, navigation tools, and information feeds. And for many people, its unclear how their digital information tools really work (or don’t?) let alone how they’re impacting their choices.
Bridging the gap: our dreams and desires versus choicetech
Nowhere is this misalignment felt more acutely than online dating. These platforms have inserted themselves into the most personal parts of our lives, creating an opaque, frustrating decision environment. Most users are fed up because they aren't just dating; they’re navigating new, problematic, poorly-designed systems that repeatedly deliver an annoying experience and disappointing outcomes.
To bridge this gap, we have to look under the hood of the choicetech we use. I help people see and understand the digital architecture surrounding their choices so they can start benefitting from, and stop fighting, their tech.

Navigating with Intention
To recenter the human in a digital world, we have to look under the hood of the tools and apps we use. This work is primarily focused on choicetech literacy coaching and strategy development.
The coaching: We build the capacity to "read" the digital architecture (like algorithms and data defaults) that nudges your behavior.
The strategy: We apply a high-level strategic lens to build a personal "decision roadmap" that aligns your habits with your actual goals.
