World Class Cohort

​​

Stanford is an essential stepping stone for my pioneering 30-year career in AI-driven design. At the d.School, I will be mentored by the best design specialists who will shape my mastery of design for emerging technologies while also part of the Stanford innovation ecosystem that will guide my global collaborative leadership skills 

 

Faster FashTech

​​

As Global Creative Director of an international fashion design house for fifteen years, I dabbled in many styles of design; e.g., clothing, accessories, jewelry, supply chain, global distribution, and micro payment systems. My goal was to convert the fashion company into a finance company to solve fashion funding roadblocks.

 

Go Local Fast

​

In order to generate a creative currency that is global as well as local, it will be essential that I orchestrate the software solution while directed by stellar advisors and surrounded by superbly bright fellow students who will challenge me to stay pragmatically focused on the long-term higher purpose to benefit humanity.

​

Bet on Fashion

​

My d.School Mars-shot is to design AI-driven applications that empower investors to evaluate and place predictive money on which precise element of a product or service design will do best in a globally dynamic format; e.g., time, location, size, and color. Effectively, this becomes a novel stock market. 

​​

Unknowns

​

I am perfectly aware of the fact that the d.School may lead me to wholly new perspectives and I might join a project started by another student or stimulated by a conversation with faculty; e.g., with Ariam Mogos, Emerging Tech Portfolio Design Lead, or with d.School Academic Director, Carissa Carter.

 ​

Intrepidly Interwoven

​

Over the next two years, I will build upon the lattice of cross-campus bridges that I began in 2020, among the graduate school of business, various engineering departments including computer science and aerospace, Doerr School of Sustainability, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy, Precourt Institute for Energy, Explore Energy, Bits and Watts Initiative, Asia Pacific Research Center, US -- Asia Tech Management Center, to propagate new discoveries and innovations.

 

Hub and Spoke

​​

From 2026 to 2028, I will center my learning experiences around the d.School in order to imbue my network with enthusiasm to architect an interdependent community of ingenuous AI-native netizens. Together, we will design operational systems from scratch and build beta financial equity systems.  

 

Tokenized Ideas

​

Possibly, I will morph the idea-valuation hub into an entity that is presented to the world as a creative currency and eventually becomes a software that tokenizes ideas and dynamic bits of information as assets via predictive marketplaces that empower investors to bet on ideas like stocks.

 

d.School Provenance 

​

The paradigm shift is that such a software can cut through all industries and all companies in all countries. The size and breadth of this design means that I need to take two full years of guided mentorship to build it from scratch with d.School provenance and practice innovative learning systems and master rapid prototyping along the way with courses taught by Leticia Britos Cavagnaro and Glen Fajardo. The MS degree focus on globalized learning environments and iterative innovation ecosystems will be what leads Worldwide Flow to success. 

​

Loftee Goals

​

The discoveries as part of the d.School Loft community will be bountiful. The lifelong cohort of trustworthy fellow students and faculty will be the priceless element of my time at Stanford. I envision a collaborative launch of a new 30-year career based on AI initiatives and I have no plans of ever retiring. We are in a great acceleration with an undefined and uncertain future; this is the exact environment where I thrive and can contribute most. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Rapid Discovery

​

It is the design learning systems that will integrate sustainability into my innovation-management system so that it can globally grow without breaking. The motto of my MS Design degree will be "Go Local Fast". That means I will radically collaborate across many other institutions outside Stanford and form academic alliances around the world in order to continuously learn. The future financial system must be designed from scratch. 

​​

Ideation to Market

​

In order to design a creative currency that initiates ideas like products and opens up internal processes to outside investors like a predictive betting marketplace, I must become a COLLABORATIVE DESIGNER so that growth perpetuates outside my hands and forwards a profound shared prosperity for humanity. 

​​

Experiential Scale

​

The d.School will be where I master the art and science of BIAS TO ACTION and RADICAL COLLABORATION with the freedom of movement across campus that intellectually empowers me to experientially learn at a rapid pace and practice scaling the process up into a new entity that makes a predictive market.

​​

Eureka Abounds

​

There is no shortage of productivity now with GenAI and an open mind is where eureka awaits. The irony of the machine learning transformation is that it has made our humanity all the more valuable. The only way to generate new anything is from the mind of humanity -- all else is regurgitated. 

​​

Augmented Imagination

​

The MAKING of IDEAS will always be human as long as we evolve quick enough to outpace the onset of AI before it bonds our best to be dependent on it rather than the other way around; i.e., humanity should utilize AI as a tool to AUGMENT our INTELLIGENCE towards high-speed ingenuity.

 

Predictive Innovation

​

I foresee that the divinity of my two-year adventure at the d.School will be the practice of rapidly learning to augment intelligence as an imaginative force that can become an inferential predictive marketplace that pilots innovative ideas at a pace that surpasses human imagination. 

​​

Ambiguity Embraced

​

Our greatest dilemma is also our greatest opportunity: properly powered AI can eclipse our imagination; therefore, we must practice new skills of rapid experiential learning. At the d.School, I will learn how to design AI that initiates markets and creates multigenerational wealth.

​​

Shared Prosperity

​

The new paradigm of wealth generation will be a breakthrough if we muster the courage to grasp the steering wheel even when the machine is automated, because we are entering edge-AI frontiers that must be tactilely felt and inferentially perceived as much as they are quantifiably analyzed. 

​​​​

Transmuted Humanity

​

Health is the wealth we seek and the future is bright as long as we adapt and evolve into our newly shared circumstances whereby machines can accomplish many mundane tasks over which humans have traditionally defined themselves as masters. Now, we must fail fast to make it big.

​

Teamwork Dreamwork

​

Novel AI-native systems must be rapidly made from scratch and accomplished within globally dynamic teams in order for them to possess long-term sustainability for their participants and in harmony with the planet. Decentralized teamwork will be the root of all new labor systems.  

​

The Fairness Algorithm

​

The d.School will initiate my new 30-year career as a team leader and designer of innovative AI systems that improve the human condition and invent better ways of working that promote health and vitality, while earning profits that are paid out to all participants with fairness. 

​

Design the Sync

​

My forecast is that the domain of design will progressively be about how to optimally sync artificial intelligence systems into both already existing organizations as well as and more importantly as new standalone entities that operate for humanity to efficiently forward financial equity.
