Social XR has real economic power.
Never thought it’d take me to the UN 💙

The United Nations and The World Bank invited me to talk about virtual worlds. And I got to represent the creator side.

Not just the platforms.
Not just the companies.
But the humans behind the headsets ✨

Play is where connection begins 🎮💫
What makes a world feel alive?

We explored this with @powjams.bsky.social & Lauren Schroeder in Viverse:

• What sparks play?
• What keeps people coming back?
• What happens when we design for joy?

Not just game mechanics—how to get people involved.

Found this postcard on the floor in Lisbon.

A random little moment
that turned into something special.

On my last day,
We hopped on the Teleférico.
Didn’t plan it—just felt right.

No agenda.
Just room to wander.

Virtual events shouldn’t feel like a livestream.

If it works on a flat screen, why go 3D?

You’re not just hosting.
You’re world-building.

Don’t build cardboard spaces.

You know the kind:
Pretty. Polished.
But empty.

Looks immersive…
Until you interact.
Then the illusion breaks.

If nothing responds or invites participation—
it’s not a space.
It’s just a set.
