One founder, 9 projects & too many opinions

Writing on AI, wellness, and design — plus the nine projects built from them. One weekly letter, no noise.

Writing

From the desk

Unfiltered writing on AI, wellness, design, and the art of building things with a point of view. The signal, not the noise.

Blog

On weddings, aunties, and the quiet erosion of culture

The white wedding is held up as the aspirational standard, but this often comes at a cost. When we sanitise our own beautiful, chaotic ceremonies for outside consumption, we aren’t just making them tidier; we are participating in the quiet erosion of our own culture.

AI is but a tool. The agency lies with us humans

We are told AI will do everything, but this fundamentally misses the point. AI has no taste, no conviction, and no agency—it is a powerful tool, but the responsibility for wielding it with purpose remains entirely our own.

Projects

The constellation

Nine ventures, each built with a clear point of view and a practical reason to exist.

Plot artwork

Media

Plot

Plot backs films, series, publications and platforms that wouldn't exist under traditional studio or advertising-dependent models — a bridge between creators who need capital and investors who want exposure to independent media without the institutional baggage.

Independence by design

The public surface at plot.fund remains a deliberate holding page while the first investment slate and partner network are confirmed behind the scenes. We are currently refining the core thesis, focusing on Plot: Decoupling production from the studio model to ensure creative autonomy remains the primary metric.

Kokorology artwork

Wellness · Nervous system

Kokorology

Kokoro is the Japanese word for heart-mind. Kokorology is my take on it: a study of alignment, attunement and nervous system regulation — so high performance becomes sustainable instead of survivable.

The methodology of somatic recalibration

The ecosystem has been refined into three distinct layers of somatic recalibration. A 30-second discovery flow now meets every visitor at the door, routing users toward specific protocols for burnout, longevity, or capacity. This tactical entry point complements the broader framework of Kokorology: Engineering the Somatic Self.

Wellness And AI artwork

AI · Wellness

Wellness And AI

A calm, evidence-based education platform that teaches individuals and practitioners how to use any three free chat tools as one unified personal AI Health Stack — Research, Ledger, Protocol.

Update2 days ago

Sovereign health via general-purpose AI.

The system matures as the "Course extends to 12 days; 'Picked for you' personalisation goes live.", introducing tailored prompt scripts for symptom management. This three-layer stack remains the blueprint for sovereign health data, ensuring GDPR compliance is a baseline rather than an afterthought.

Spectrum Watches artwork

Design · Horology

Spectrum Watches

Designed in Dubai since 1990. Six personas — explorers, challengers, inventors, truth-seekers and creatives — for the people who choose how their hours are measured.

Update2 days ago

Horology scaled to deep time.

Spectrum’s archival depth is now streamlined through a 60-second persona quiz and a 24-hour flash drop go live, mapping collectors to one of six distinct identities. The Dubai house maintains its obsession with deep time, anchoring its 1990 origins against the 13.8-billion-year digital scroll.

The Codex artwork

Wellness · Coaching

The Codex

The Codex is a wellness coaching platform connecting people with instructors and trainers, plus events, community and a small shop — all in one home.

Update2 days ago

The Codex: Consolidating the Wellness Industry

The public-facing hub for wellness practitioners is now live, integrating community events and a curated shop into a single digital estate. As detailed in "The Codex: A Unified Infrastructure for Wellness", the operational dashboard is now active behind the scenes to manage instructor workflows and retail logistics.

Matcha & Chai artwork

Lifestyle · Wellness

Matcha & Chai

A wellness café, studio and gym in Campo de Ourique, Lisbon — opening 2026. Ceremonial matcha, authentic chai, co-working, infrared sauna, light therapy, breathwork and small-group functional training.

Scarcity in Campo de Ourique.

Construction advances on the three-level wellness site in Lisbon, while Founding membership 32% sold; opening countdown live on the hero. The remaining 68 slots offer locked-in pricing for the cafe, studio, and recovery floors ahead of the 2026 debut.

Prominent artwork

Real Estate · Europe

Prominent

Prominent is a European real estate house that develops architectural commissions, publishes a monthly editorial of homes built with vision, and quietly catalogues properties that rarely reach the market.

Update2 days ago

Scaling the Tripartite Model

The house has formalised its presence across seven countries, cataloguing over 120 assets to date. These efforts are detailed in Three chapters, one house: 07 countries, 120+ properties catalogued., which outlines how the Development, Magazine, and Properties arms now operate as a singular architectural ecosystem.

Aura Score artwork

Wellness · Daily ritual

Aura Score turns small daily intentions into one calm number. Three streams — wellness, acts of kindness, self-love — feed a single aura you can style, grow and share. Free to play locally, claim it to keep it.

Update2 days ago

Aura Score: Discipline as Ornament.

The daily ritual is now a visual currency. In Aura Points, ornaments, and gifting go live., users can style their aura with eight orbiting ornaments and gift points to pets or peers via the integrated wallet. Progress remains local and free until an identity is claimed.

Spiced with Science artwork

Food · Ayurveda × Biotech

Spiced with Science

An Ayurveda-meets-biotech food house bringing heritage Indian spices into clinically rigorous, everyday products. Three launches into a $374B market, with a Seed Vault Fund™ that traces every jar back to the farmer who grew it.

Update2 days ago

Provenance at scale: AI Naani goes live

The platform now integrates Ayurvedic wisdom with verifiable data, as AI Naani now answers on the homepage, with sourced receipts beneath to bridge the gap between tradition and biotech.
