I work at the intersection of inner experience and collective systems—how shifts in perception, meaning, and consciousness shape the way we lead, relate, and build the world around us.

My path began in organizational and social change work, partnering with philanthropic and nonprofit organizations across more than fifteen countries. From an India-based venture philanthropy fund to Amnesty International to Sri Lanka's largest NGO, I worked on strategy, culture, and the conditions that allow people and systems to evolve. Nearly two decades ago, I co-founded ChangeCraft, a consulting practice focused on helping organizations reimagine how they work, learn, and lead.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in what sits beneath systems change: the structure of experience itself. Why do similar external conditions lead to fundamentally different ways of seeing, relating, and acting? What happens when the boundaries of perception begin to shift? And how do extraordinary or anomalous experiences—moments that disrupt our assumptions about reality—reshape meaning, identity, and behavior over time?

My research explores a central question: What lies beyond the limits of our current models of perception and meaning—and how does crossing those limits reshape how we live and participate in the world?

I am a PhD student at the California Institute for Human Science, where I study the edges of consciousness, including exceptional human experiences such as synchronicities, mystical states, and extended perceptual capacities. My work is transdisciplinary, drawing from psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, religious studies, and lived experience to better understand how people make sense of—and are transformed by—these encounters.

Across both organizational and research contexts, I am interested in how changes in perception and meaning translate into shifts in behavior, relationships, and the systems we create together.

I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, with my partner and three sons. After a recent year of travel across Asia and Europe, I continue to draw from diverse cultural and experiential perspectives on consciousness, meaning, and human potential.
