Work with Me
Explore the work of a former award‑winning photojournalist turned Executive Producer—where emergent tech meets human story. Through DesertRat Productions, The Human Layer podcast, and privacy‑focused workshops, co‑create narratives that make AI, Web3, & digital privacy serve humanity.

Strategic Advising for Executives in Emergent Technology
- Deep‑dive research on blockchain ecosystems (Ethereum, L2s, tokenomics) and the latest frontiers of explainable AI and ethical emergent technology. Also includes research to support fund raising efforts and speaking engagements.
- Ghost‑writing & thought‑leadership: whitepapers, articles, LinkedIn posts, and op‑eds that position you as a trusted voice.
- Strategic road‑mapping: actionable recommendations for product, governance, and communication that align technology with human impact.
- Highly‑trained AI system & prompt‑engineering suite: a custom‑tuned language model built around your brand voice, style guidelines, and core messaging. I’ll train the model on your past publications, speeches, and preferred tone so every piece of generated copy feels unmistakably yours.
- Chat‑prompt coaching: hands‑on sessions that teach you how to craft precise prompts, steer the AI’s output, and maintain editorial control—all while preserving the authenticity of your personal brand. You’ll walk away with a repeatable workflow for rapid, on‑brand content creation that scales with your strategic needs.
Why it works
Your executive agenda becomes a single, coherent narrative. Insights from blockchain inform AI ethics, and vice‑versa, creating cross‑pollination that amplifies credibility and influence. And sometimes you just need a trusted voice in your corner who knows your story, your mission and helps you see what's possible.
