Product Studio · Climate
From expertise to live product in one engagement. Deep enough in climate domains to architect tools that reach real audiences — and keep reaching them.

Climate education, careers, and interactive science communication.
Terra Studio Interactive Playground
The Problem
Climate communicators learn frameworks in intensives but leave without workflows. The gap between knowing the theory and producing real content stays wide — concepts live in slides, never reaching production.
The build
A 6-module production toolkit with 15 live playgrounds. Each module ships a working tool: Story Spine Builder with AI narrative feedback, Audience Diagnostic, Value-Frame Translator, 5-stage content pipeline, Ground Truth Document generator, and a scrollytelling build planner.

The Vanishing Earth
The Problem
Critical climate data — tipping points, threshold distances, ecosystem decline rates — gets buried in dense reports, academic jargon, and walls of numbers. The urgency is real but invisible to anyone outside the research.
The build
A scrollytelling interactive that makes five critical ecosystems viscerally legible — each with a D3 globe, animated threshold visualization, and scroll-driven narrative. Functions as both a standalone editorial piece and a reference implementation for Terra Studio students.

Climate Job Board
The Problem
Climate careers exist across every industry but surface nowhere in one place. Job seekers bounce between dozens of niche boards, never seeing the full picture — and the sector itself can't measure its own workforce demand.
The build
A real-time aggregation platform pulling from 58,300+ companies globally — surfacing the most relevant climate roles across every sector and geography, updated daily.

Your climate expertise, delivered.
Science, storytelling, and engineering. So you can focus on your mission.
Scrollytelling
→Turn research into scroll-driven stories with animated globes and real satellite data.
AI Workflows
→Give practitioners tools that think alongside them — and keep working after the course ends.
Data Visualization
→D3.js, canvas, satellite imagery — real climate data at the right scale for the right audience.
Science Communication
→Frame findings for the decision-makers, funders, and audiences that act on them.
Client
Stanford University
Global Sustainability Challenge — student climate competition across 65+ universities worldwide.
GSC Resource Library
The Problem
3,500+ students across 65+ universities working on sustainability challenges — each team reinventing the wheel, digging through scattered PDFs, paywalled journals, and dead links instead of building their ventures.
The build
A searchable library of 91 curated resources, organized by category and use case. Designed so teams spend time on their sustainability ventures, not on finding the right framework.

Mentor Matching Algorithm
The Problem
Matching 40 finalist teams to 98 mentors across 6 regions by hand meant inconsistent pairings, missed expertise overlaps, and mentor data fragmented across 4 sources with broken tagging and wildly varying quality.
The build
A Python NLP pipeline with a custom 12-category skill taxonomy, 6-dimension scoring rubric, and greedy assignment algorithm with load balancing, rejection handling, and Phase 2 continuity logic.
