Point of view

Privacy shouldn’t live in a policy document.

  • Architecture

    What the system can access, store and connect to.

  • Interface

    What the user can see, understand and control.

  • Choices

    What the product allows by default, and what it asks before acting.

Better products respect people.

Privacy controls

About

I started with design.

Before privacy, cybersecurity and AI governance, I studied art.

It taught me to notice what people see, and what they don’t.

That still shapes how I think about interfaces, user agency and AI systems: the most important decisions are often the least visible.
