Mathematics as a Creative Force

We are reclaiming the discipline. For too long, mathematics has been flattened into procedural compliance. This project is a call to return to the 'heart' of the field—a human craft of ingenuity, attention, and shared judgment." "Join a community of educators and sensemakers refusing the 'quiet surrender' and choosing to inhabit the discipline again.

The Age of Storytellers

A GROWTH Framework for Teaching Mathematics with a Purpose

We are entering an era of AI and acceleration. If we are to remain relevant, we must reclaim what machines cannot do: interpret, connect, and tell the stories that shape identity. Teachers are not just delivering content; they are the architects of culture.

Monuments & Shadows

Sensemaking for Living Honestly in a Complex World

We are not points on a line. We are spheres—curved, whole, and in motion. This work explores the 'geometry of the inner world,' inviting you to walk the Great Circle between who you strive to be and the shadows you cast. Using mathematics as a creative and introspective force to heighten your sense, build your awareness, and add grace to your path in life.

  • The candle in the fog. Moving forward while trembling.

  • The wave and the ocean. Creating the vessel that holds both.

  • The open hand and the closed door. The architecture of connection.

  • The rope bridge. Motion toward meaning, even when the path sways.

  • The bamboo and the storm. Knowing when to stand and when to bend.
