I'm Brent, technoprogressive social entrepreneur and human-centered design innovator. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2014 with a B.A. in Global Information and Social Enterprise Studies (Sociology+ICT4D) where I also worked as an Everett fellow and student instructor. I've spent time researching integrated information theory, systems optimization, biourbanism, and Constructal theory.

Lately my focus has been on greentech, closed loop systems, digital democracy, and music. #FreeTheBear!

‘It Takes a Villa’
– Self‑Sovereign Identity Project (SSI) — Personal Cloud / Self‑Hosted Interest Graph – Your interest graph shouldn’t be a hostage negotiation. Imagine an Internet where individuals—not corporations—sit at the center of their digital footprint. Each person runs their own home server hub, retaining full control of cloud integrations. Instead of scattering personal data across platforms, the individual curates a self‑hosted profile—a sovereign data center that interfaces with services strictly on their terms. Social platforms, search engines, and marketplaces no longer store or silo your information; they cache it temporarily and only with permission. Your data and your interest graph live under your roof, cryptographically secured and selectively shareable. Third parties gain access solely through transparent consent mechanisms. No more opaque profiling or data brokerage. Your interest graph is locally stored, continuously shaped by you, and directly portable across experiences. Behavioral targeting becomes a consensual dance rather than a surveillance game.
– MetaTracker — AI‑driven civic platform that helps users track, discuss, network, and combine forces to solve global issues, encouraging connections based on likeness as well as intersectionality. Reclaiming signal from MSM chaos, and making it stick.
– Zenwear — HRV‑integrated ergonomic wearables for stress reduction, recovery, and daily biofeedback, including HRV-sensing phone armband/forearm, HRV sensing mouse wristpad, as well as “informed”, or “smart” TDCS and TMS units that factor in the user’s biometrics. Integrates into below project.
– Human‑Centric OS / Prototype ‘Lightfield’ — A biofeedback‑aware and calmtech-centered computing environment that reduces cognitive overload through embodied UX. Research into HRV‑synchronized systems for holistic, sensei‑grade ambiance and atmospheric design that support safer cognitive and mood enhancement. 3D immersive environment GUI (shell) built to maximize proprioception, memory retention, stress reduction, etc. Lightforge supports custom map creation built on the principle that you don’t just remember space — space remembers you. Use associative memory to optimize OS navigation, letting different environments evoke distinct neural states that naturally streamline focus.
– Flowtonic — A smart desktop vaporizer/aromatherapy device that adapts thermal profiles to user intention with built-in odor control and biofeedback.
– Fräggendäpps — A functional beverage line that blends botanicals, adaptogens, and gut‑supportive ingredients.
– PANDROID — A smartphone‑based non‑lethal defense system that deploys smart pods with heat, sound, and light deterrence.
– CORE Pelvic System — A monopolar e‑stim device that strengthens deep pelvic muscles.
– Luminara Desk Ecosystems — A biophilic desktop micro‑ecosystem combining living plants, with a moving water element including automatic watering, fog, lighting, and other customizable modules.
– Omnisutra — A privacy‑first cloud-based intimacy‑matching platform based on encrypted analysis of the user’s personal “library of erotic‑archetypal data”.
– Rapid Cognitive Wellness Formulations — botanical and neurochemical blends (e.g. acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) for fast-acting clarity and mood support.
– Night Glow Botanical Parks – an outdoor gathering space and social hub featuring bioluminescent plants, synchronized music and ambiance, and glowing water features. California’s first ‘all-natural’, bioluminescent outdoor venue – featuring a lazy river — where the wilderness doesn’t go dark, it glows. Night Glow Park is a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that transforms the nocturnal landscape into a living canvas of light. Wander through park lined with bioluminescent plants, marvel at glowing water features that shimmer with ethereal hues, and lose yourself in a dreamscape where science meets magic. Perfect for date nights, family outings, and curious minds, this attraction offers a multi-sensory journey that blends environmental artistry, sustainable tech, and natural beauty.
– Grass Beaches – paid entrance (SP/private) – a national attraction: native grasses for a beach-like feel, substrate & drainage to avoid mud, native flowers, picnic tables, access to fruit, all-natural Salad Bowl picking and basic facilities, potentially RV/campground.
– “Carnist Catastrophe” – a vegan ‘fast food’ chain – Make meat-eaters feel like they’re missing out on the cooler, more evolved option. Let people laugh at their own carnist instincts while choosing the ethical path, and indulge the “hunter” fantasy without harming animals. Use exaggerated names to parody human supremacy and meat culture. Familiar textures, bold flavors, and nostalgic formats. Every dish is 100% plant-based, but the branding doesn’t impose shame on omnivores.
– Bioregional ADU Housing “Ecotourism” Communities – gated communities for vagabonds that desire consistency. Standardized yet adaptable structures: Each property is designed with a modular architectural aesthetic, allowing for uniformity in branding and experience while permitting local adaptations for climate and culture. Global network of properties: Instead of a single retreat, members have access to a curated selection of locations worldwide—each designed to maintain a consistent aesthetic while respecting local ecosystems. Rotational membership model: Members pay into the system either as fractional owners or via a subscription-based model, granting them access to any available property in the network for a set amount of time per year. Dynamic booking and reciprocity: An intelligent allocation system ensures fair access, balancing demand by season and location. You can even select an ADU based on the angle of the sun for that time of year. Community engagement and fluid networks: While the experience is sufficiently private, it also facilitates deeper engagement through community get-togethers. Sustainability as a core principle: Each property is designed with minimal environmental impact—solar power, water recycling, smart ventilation, compost, and locally sourced furnishings. Expandable: California Social Housing could be shared on the same property: ecologically sustainable, low-income, recovery, and disabled housing that offers value in a natural space rather than urban ones.
