About

I am a mother of twin girls, Vicky and Sydney.

They experience the world a little differently, and raising them has shaped the way I see childhood, learning, and the small signals children carry on their faces.

Many afternoons, I stand at the school gate watching the children come out. Some walk in groups, talking and laughing. Some walk quietly. In those moments I often find myself observing not only my daughters, but childhood itself.

Our family also happens to live close to the world of artificial intelligence. My husband is an AI engineer, and at home we sometimes experiment with a small AI research system that tracks how technology and education are changing.

Because of that, I often feel that our family is standing near the edge of a new era — watching how the world children are growing into is quietly transforming.

This website grew out of those observations.

After Two Thirty tells the small stories that happen after the school gate opens — the walk to the car, the questions, the silence, the laughter, and the slow work of raising children.

Before Two Thirty looks at the changing world children are growing into — how technology, education, and artificial intelligence may shape the future they will inherit.

I am not writing as an expert.

I am writing as a mother who is watching, learning, and trying to understand the world my daughters will grow up in.
