Film

Genius at Large.

The production company I run with my mother, Dr. Azadeh Khatibi. And, in front of the camera, me.

Writing

Sensitive writing.

Sensey Living is the newsletter my mother and I write for highly sensitive people: the ones who notice the light, the tone, the thing nobody said.

Podcast

The Sensey Living podcast.

My mother and I, in conversation, for people who feel deeply and notice everything. Coming soon.

Creative and technical

I like to build things and tell stories, usually at the same time.

I founded HERO2, an iPhone app that rewards walking, biking and transit, because I love the climate space and want good habits to feel good. I produce film and television with my mother at Genius at Large, and together we make Sensey Living, a podcast and Substack for highly sensitive people. I’m also a licensed California real estate salesperson, and I studied psychology and conservation at UC Berkeley because I wanted to know why good intentions so rarely become good habits.
