As a Futures Studies and Foresight professional, I have worked with various private and public sector clients in the development and discourse of alternative futures. This work includes workshops for national and international governance teams, corporate planning and design departments, and non-profit organizations. My personal research focuses on mixed-reality platforms to increase participation and efficacy of future-oriented governance. Goals: 1) To develop content, activities, and curricula that use various media for social awareness raising, and to increase opportunities for participatory dialogue and action. 2) Create mixed reality interfaces that encourage futures-oriented thought, and enable social action. 3) Develop my creative design and storytelling technique to better express different future possibilities in a way that illustrates their relationships to decision making, strategy, and social governance. In order to achieve these goals I engage with a number of creative opportunities through the HRCFS network. Much of my recent work has consisted of using game design to build systems for futures-oriented thinking within governing institutions. Through game systems we have explored various modes of interactivity between content and participants, and achieved our goals of making futures-oriented thinking more accessible.
My work includes conducting Strategic Foresight Workshops, futures-oriented research and analysis, and game-based system design. We work with private and public sector clients to provide materials and methods related to long-term visioning and planning. My research focus is Mixed Reality media and Transmedia experiences in regards to disseminating images of the future and creating new modes of participatory governance in regards to alternative and preferred futures.
Rorosoro is my personal company that brings my skill set into an interface with the world.

The FuturExtruder projects are based on creating interfaces for futures oriented thinking, research, and governance. These include the development experiential scenarios via Augmented Realities, Immersive Environments, and Live-action role playing. Our Augmented Reality Layers are based on futures representatives, artifacts, and narratives, and our developed to engage users with interactive alternative futures for the purposes of exploration and informed decision making. Our Immersive Virtual Environments will be developed to mirror the ideas initiated through our augmented reality platforms. These are to provide accessibility to our futures content to a global audience through the internet. Our Live-Action Role playing components develop "living futures" through the use of actors, artifacts, and settings constructed to portray alternative future scenarios. These often draw on elements of improvisation and interaction to make personas and environments better reflect these possible futures.
