Howdy! I'm Kristen Pavle, and I’m a social scientist, specializing in qualitative research and analysis, systems thinking, and human-centered design. Currently, I’m building Ponder, a thoughtful, collaborative writing tool designed for self-reflection and sharing a brain with a group. Before exploring the world of tech and software, I spent majority of my career in health consulting, most recently with IBM Watson Health.
Through my newsletter I share my journey in blazing a path through life, full of strange detours and interesting discoveries I stumble upon along the way. I especially enjoy finding little pockets of the internet that feel just right - usually with a bent towards the collective, finding new ways to connect with people.
My interests lie in a mish-mash of subject areas, including:
-creativity
-philosophy
-flora and fauna
-meditation
-embodiment through yoga, dance and breathwork
-self-organizing or autopoietic systems
-ecosystems
If this sounds interesting, join me on my journey of personal transformation.
I look forward to meeting you!
XO,
Kristen
