About Me

My Photo
A San Francisco native, I am 5/8 educator and 5/8 social entrepreneur. Trained as an industrial designer at the Rhode Island School of Design, I have continued my quest for meaningful work at the intersection of design/social impact/education. This has led me to teaching at Pratt Institute, Brown University's Community Environmental College and at my alma mater, where I founded the advanced studio, Design for Social Entrepreneurship, as the youngest adjunct faculty. After working for Design that Matters and purchasing the urls, designforamerica.com/org on the night of the 2008 presidential elections, I am now the Director of Operations for Design for America (i.e. dream job).
