About the Studio

Built by a Teacher Who Writes Software

I’m Jacob Lauritzen, an English professor, author, and conference speaker, and the founder of Lauritzen Systems, a software studio in Arizona’s Gila Valley. Lauritzen Systems makes tools for thinking, writing, and learning, designed for neurodivergent minds.

I started the studio to build apps that solve problems, especially problems I’ve run into myself.

I also publish fiction, nonfiction, and poetry through Gila Valley Press.

Speaking

I present throughout Arizona on education and AI.

My talk topics have included:

• Artificial intelligence in education
