Anavi
Anavi LLC
Anavi investigates structure across systems, disciplines and scales—testing what survives translation, where the resemblance breaks, and what becomes possible when useful connections are made rigorous.
It begins with questions. It looks across boundaries without pretending the boundaries are meaningless. It tests correspondences against evidence and against difference, revises when they fail, and creates when something useful takes shape.
What takes shape may be research, a model, an experiment, a method, a tool, a visualization, software or a product. None of these is the boundary of the company.
I’m Ash.
Founder · AI product builder · Independent researcher
I’m Ash, founder of Anavi, an MBA candidate at Seattle University Albers School of Business and Economics, and a female veteran with a background in United States military intelligence. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Neuropsychology from Portland State University. I’m also a polyglot and an avid, many-faceted nerd, drawn to the connections between minds, languages, stories, science and systems.
Along the way, I’ve volunteered with Oregon Health & Science University’s Developmental Brain Imaging Lab and taught neuroscience outreach.
I’m building Anavi at the meeting of inquiry and craft. Literature, research, design and the demands of everyday life ask different things of us; I want to understand those differences well enough to make software that responds with intelligence, care and imagination.
Science fiction—Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars—books, psychology, physics and mathematics.
Questions I’m exploring
- “What have I been thinking about all year without noticing?”Folium X
- “Where did I read that before?”Visual Knowledge Map
- “What could this word mean in its own time and place?”Ancient Hebrew World
- “When did it actually happen, and how do I know?”Evidence & Life-Event Organizer
Selected work
- Folium XIn development; not release-ready
- ScopeWitnessPilot built, not yet released
- Ancient Hebrew WorldEarly prototype
Let’s collaborate: I’m interested in research partnerships, thoughtful technology, and ambitious projects that benefit from crossing disciplinary boundaries. support@anavi.dev
