About
The SMRT logo is a book. But, it is also a Shoshinsha Mark — a Japanese symbol for people who are just starting out.
SMRT products and services are for kids of all ages and organizations that feel that something is off, disconnected, new or foggy to them.
Aim

Language
Design-your-Own Sensation-based Social Mitigation Schema
If you are an activist, community developer, or just someone who sees wrong-doing in the world and you want to take action, but don’t have the right tools… contact me today to discuss Sensation-based Functional Support.
Bio-feedback is a major bottleneck in the social understanding process for a great many people. Many rely on anxiety strategies to weather environmental factors, and many others get overwhelmed or worse. Sensation-based Languages are a “body-in-mind approach” to securing your “self” and others who have a hard time navigating the built environment and communicating for themselves.
Together as co-designers we can develop a language that equips your mind to your body, so you can take action.

BOOK
To get to SPACE you need to know…
The aim of this book is to slow down and build conscious awareness and confidence around visual processing, and move learners from iconographic and concrete thinking to a more connected frame of mind. The books visuals and word associations ramp up to a scaffold that supports sparse baseline integration into collective awareness and area safety nets. It takes a village and this book works to support access to that village.
While I personally think this book will be an entertaining learning experience for everyone, FFS networks and Hands-on readers, it is intended as a stimulating Knowledge Bridge for 6 to 12 year old learners of varying intelligences.
To get to SPACE you need to know… takes Children on a Graphic Learning Journey from 2D basics like grids and scale to 3D objects all the way to warped space, rainbows, imagination, spacial metaphor and much much more along the way to OUTER SPACE.
Partnerships
SMRT is currently seeking partnerships with Organization Leaders, Educational Diagnosticians, Social Control and Monitoring Specialists, and Health Teams that may require Visualization and Behavior Change Design Services. If you can coordinate around employee experience, wellness and accommodation services or provision and verify control inheritance for thought-ware, I want to talk to you!
Whoever you are, pass me a note.
“I have always had a tendency to fixate on things. When I was younger, people would move on, leave me behind and later think that I must have got lost. Then, eventually, they would come back to find me, only to realize that I was never lost. I was with myself, in a state of flow, thinking attentively and deeply.
My prayer, this brand, is that “lost kids” will never come to see themselves as left behind, but as thinkers, self-assured and ready to lead those that return to find them.”
