Sam Gerstenzang
It's pronounced Ger-sten-zang.
I think about how people read and read about how people think.
I like augmented cognition, architectural design for thinking, cities, operational efficiency at scale, strong contrasts, irony, and well-designed objects and experiences. Email me at my first and last name at gmail.com
