Projects
Nearly all of this started as something I was writing about and could not stop thinking about — a script without good typefaces, music that was never notated, elders with no services built for them. Each project is an attempt at an answer.
Non-Profit · Founder
The organization the rest of this work now sits inside. Founded to rescue Tibetan knowledge from the edge of loss, give it open and durable form, and place it in the hands of the next generation — across four pillars: rescue and digitize, build infrastructure, nurture the next generation, sustain living culture.
