Liv Erickson

Creative Technologist, Open Source Optimist, Builder of Personal + Useful Things

I believe in technology that gives people agency, not just access. I'm especially interested in what happens when we mix artificial intelligence âœĻ, personal data, and immersive experiences in service of community and collaboration. You can find me building experimental AI tools, cozy web apps that reclaim our digital lives, or writing zines about the internet I want to live in. ðŸ’ŧ

Right now, I'm exploring what's next.
(And yes, that might mean starting something new.)
