The smallest things keep revealing the structure underneath.

I've spent fourteen years as a social science researcher, working across gender equity, livelihoods, public health, and financial inclusion across South Asia, East Africa, and the broader Global South. Much of that work has been about how people live in systems, how they organise work and their lives within it. In particular how work, care, and responsibility are distributed, and how people are placed within those structures, across households and communities.

Three years ago, I became a parent. And then again.
What shifted was not only what I was doing, but how I was living.
How I worked.
How I showed up for myself.
How I showed up in the world.
And what I began to notice more closely inside the house: the patterns I had studied in the field began to show up in more immediate ways.

In routines that repeat without being named.
In conversations.
In small decisions.
In systems that run without being named.

This site is where I follow those patterns.
Each piece begins with something ordinary. Something specific.
A dataset, a system, a repeated interaction.
And then moves outward, to understand what it reveals about how work, value, and roles are structured, and who is assumed into those roles.
