Value & Marketplace System Design
Design the economic architecture of your network, platform, or community.
Whether you're building a community currency, a digital marketplace, or an incentive system for local impact, the architecture matters. I design the value flows, incentive structures, and platform mechanics that make these systems work — drawing on real-world experience with local currencies, rewards programs, and digital payments infrastructure.
Frameworks used: Marketplace & Currency System Design, Value Flow Compass, Community Wealth Building
Client types: Solidarity economy projects, community currency initiatives, digital marketplaces, mission-driven organizations
Engagement model: Project-based (2–6 months) or advisory on retainer

Governance & Organizational Architecture
Build organizations that can govern themselves — transparently and effectively.
Participatory governance is harder than it looks. I help organizations design governance frameworks that distribute power, clarify roles, and enable collective decision-making — without falling into chaos or bureaucracy.
Frameworks used: Value Flow Compass, Pathways to Regeneration
Client types: Cooperatives, solidarity economy projects, enterprises, DAOs
Engagement model: Facilitated sessions (half-day to multi-day) with ongoing advisory
Landmarks: Crypto Commons Association (Board Treasurer), CoFi (Lead Facilitator), Qoin Foundation
Strategy & Policy Advisory
Navigate the institutional frontier — from government to enterprise.
I advise governments, academic institutions, and enterprises on the policy and strategy of regenerative finance, community currencies, and economic systems design. This is high-level, outcomes-focused work that shapes the rules of the game.
Frameworks used: Pathways to Regeneration, Community Wealth Building
Client types: Local governments, CDFIs, enterprises, policymakers
Engagement model: Project-based (3–12 months), typically including whitepaper or strategic plan deliverables
Landmarks: NYS Assembly, City of Berkeley, Qoin Foundation
Speaking & Executive Education
Bring regenerative economics to your stage, classroom, or gathering.
I speak, teach, and facilitate at conferences, universities, policy briefings, and executive retreats. I don't just present — I design the learning experience, build curriculum, and train others to teach.
Formats: Keynotes, executive workshops, multi-day unconferences, curriculum design, university guest lectures
Client types: Conference organizers, universities, executive programs, policy institutes
Engagement model: Event-based or program-based, with custom design and delivery
