§Talks & Lectures
I speak to rooms that want to think differently about people and place — universities, cultural institutions, conferences, and podcasts. One throughline runs under every talk: we were built for a world we stopped living in, and it can be measured, designed, and built back. In English or Spanish.
Topics
Each talk is built for the room — keynote, seminar, or studio crit. These are the spines.
Ecological psychology
How modern environments strip out the sensory conditions the body evolved for — and what it costs us. The argument behind everything else. The premise →
Method
Measuring how biologically functional a place is, across five dimensions — and designing toward the deficit your body is starving for.
Systems
Reading water, land, and culture as one living system — and why abundance is the default of a well-built one, not the exception.
Water & place
Catchment, native palette, shade as infrastructure, and what the Hill Country teaches about living with drought instead of against it.
Art & throughline
Live, organic sound and built ecology as two fronts of one creative practice — and a first-generation story that starts in a market in Mexico.
Practice
Design, ecology, and software in one pair of hands — what gets possible when the person reading the land also builds the systems that run it.
Formats
Selected appearances
A conversation on how environment shapes the way people feel and function.
