I'm a filmmaker, architect, and illustrator. I'm interested in art, culture, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence.Previously I've worked for UN-Habitat for low-cost housing in Iraq and done production design for films such as Ship of Theseus, Path of Zarathustra, and Tumbad. In her spare time I tend to my Leonard Cohen shrine, and rescue stray cats.
