ABOUT I lead product and marketing teams at Abodu, a housing-as-a-product company. I also offer product and marketing consulting through Different Things.

Previously I managed and designed products at Symbium, an AI software company. I’ve designed and built award-winning homes on three continents; taught design at Princeton and CUNY; illustrated most of this book; worked in newspaper publishing; and am a licensed architect in California. I received my Bachelors from UC Berkeley and Masters from Princeton.
