Samantha is a truth seeker, and a discerning optimist.

She’s developed open source protocols for the digital preservation of history. She’s scaled tech startups to tens of millions of users. She’s predicted the technology globally most likely to shape our future.

She is also a painter, and a humanist. Her innovative and critical thinking fuels her pen, and her paintbrush.

She stays awake thinking about:

  • In a world where our environments are increasingly designed to control our minds, how do we practice conscious consumption?

  • How do we transform hierarchies of oppression with compassion?

  • How is technology shaping the relationship between art and society?

  • How can we best keep wisdom traditions alive?

  • What does it mean to be human today?

  • How would you prove you’re not a robot?
