NEED CREATIVE INSIGHT?
As a passionate environmental author, designer, artist, and innovator, I create visionary speculative environments to research futures that unlock how to make our world an even better place. Over the years, thousands of you have joined me on this unique creative journey, and I love hearing about how my work has inspired or sparked breakthroughs in your design thinking, processes, and results. For this reason I started SupraPlace, a digital portal where I pull back the curtain to share behind-the-scenes insights into my speculative designs and research discoveries — in a deeper, more immersive, and timely way.
Consider the SupraPlace Portal a "bridge" between my introspective design futures research and my speculative design art films, paintings, and book creations. As a SupraPlace Member, you can join me to travel along this bridge striving to uplift quality of life through environmental design that also happens to bring us great joy and fulfillment as it evolves from initial speculative idea, to visionary concept, and beyond.
