We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. 
Current count: 42 countries.

went looking for a photo of a friend. found this snap of me on the TED stage years back. coincidentally yesterday my teammate said I am a bad presenter at an internal mtg. slow and boring, he said. must not have a lot of experience. sometimes criticism is a tactic to control more than it is a valuable feedback. this happens to women a lot. don't stay quiet. smile calmly and steer the conversation to its rightful course. #riseabovethefray
how we get around town. Sage loved the bike ride. 🐾
sometimes awe comes in the form of abstraction, sometimes subtraction.
shawarma with hot sauce or the vessel at sunset?
best travel companion. I'll happily be your emotional support human forever 🥰
thanks for the encouragement, wall at coffee shop.
communist era architecture stands as silent reminder to Berlin's complex past as it reluctantly embraces the age of new capitalism.
when in Berlin, eat giant fig
happy pup & I just got back from a bike ride. what a joy to travel together.
studio day. visited a bunch of artists to learn more about their work, their life, and their perspective on creative freedom. best quote so far that made me so proud actually came from my colleague the lead researcher "this is why I do what I do. this trip reinvigorates my sense of purpose. we research a bunch, but not like this." out of the fishbowl and into the real world. ✌🏽 best product comes from empathy. empathy comes from being in the shoes of customers, even ever so briefly. #workmode
Berlin: anything but contradiction.
on the eve of Sasha & Digweed "Twilo reunion" that I will sadly miss out in NYC tonight, @designer_kim sends me this pic of my DJ residency in the lower east side, circa 2000. ✌🏽
co-working culture.
You know what this is not? An ocean. It isn't a picture of an ocean with summer surfing. Angry land-locked mermaid mode in full swing. 😭
How to Berlin, heat wave edition: BYOH (bring your own hammock). Not in frame: Bhangra blasting on a portable speaker. 🥵
@piknyc adulting big time by snapping up the most beautiful bride of them all. Fairy tale wedding. 💒
