Breaking a system requires solving the right problem. And finding the right problem starts with asking the right question. And finding the right question to ask usually starts with asking a whole series of questions.

Here’s a few questions:

What would happen if mortgages were interest free?
How can we improve access to capital?
Can property be used to redistribute wealth?
What non-financial benefits could a money lender receive from providing a home loan ?
How do we design for more connection?
How do we require better design in new houses?

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.
