Ada is the forthcoming series I created as Should We Studio’s first production.
Should we eradicate mosquitoes? Create superintelligent AI? Create artificial wombs? These are some of the questions on Ada’s mind as she heads to the first day of her new job at the public library. She soon realizes her daily reality–mundane duties, grumpy boss–is completely at odds with the urgency she feels about the pressing problems facing humanity. Ada struggles to balance this reality with the future she imagines, where she explores her big ideas with anyone who will listen–her boss, her grandmother, or an unsuspecting visitor to the library.
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
I was the lead writer on TED-Ed’s seven-part adaptation of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Bill Gates, produced in collaboration with Gates Ventures.
Demon of Reason
I came up with the Demon of Reason character as a way to make media literacy more fun and accessible. This snarky demon sits around in his underpants channel surfing. Like so many of us, he often has the urge to yell at the people on TV; unlike the rest of us, his television is a portal that allows him to travel through history and point out the logical fallacies in some of our worst arguments.
I wrote all six episodes of Demon of Reason, each of which focuses on a different logical fallacy.
