Carla makes products by studying the systems they're embedded in
Right now I care about making the system of science better. It's a complex socio-technical issue, but with new technological primitives, culture and politics at least stands a change of doing better. That's why I'm building Oshima.
Here's how to work with me.
Some side projects: I did a podcast series to inspire optimism, my favorite episode is this. I also did one on metascience. Sometimes I take pictures on film.
