👋🏾 Hi. I’m Muki.

I design systems and strategies that help people and institutions work with technology, think clearly, coordinate effectively, and act with intention.

The throughline across my work is the same: expanding agency and designing for empowerment in service of human flourishing.

I'm currently working on Prosperithm, and founded Izora Arts & Sciences LLC for consulting work and Izora Institute for applied research — spanning strategy, innovation, product, technology, data, community, and AI with a clear commitment to social impact.

I work with investors, mission-driven organizations, and founders to design leverage: clearer strategy, sharper products, stronger capital allocation, and systems that actually move work forward. I thrive at the intersection of technology, system design, and on-the-ground results.

Previously, I spent 20+ years in corporate technology and consulting — driving investment and innovation, leading product research and development, and launching and scaling new ventures across industries transformed by technology.

Early in my career I led 2 nonprofits focused on a) community technology and youth entrepreneurship, and b) technologies to help sustain indigenous stories and languages. I was also part of the nascent Stanford d.school as a graduate student in Learning, Design & Technology.

Outside of client work, I spend quality time with family and friends, play music, ride motorcycles, volunteer, garden, meditate, build things, design frameworks, and think about systems, collective action, and long-term stewardship.

You can see more details on what I'm up to on LinkedIn.

Lastly, I stand on the shoulders of a proud lineage of cultural and community engagement and celebration hailing from Nairobi, CA (aka East Palo Alto).
