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/business/social impact. 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. I just finished working as a marketing and sustainability consultant for a social enterprise in Kathmandu, Nepal, and am currently the Studio Lead and "Design Therapist" for this year's Design for America summer Fellows Program @ Northwestern.

DevEX Shout Out

I randomly came across this article, "INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, BETTER DEVELOPMENT" from DevEx, by David Lapeska  talking about my class! To quote: 

"Academia has begun to tap that market. Last year, Sami Nerenberg launched an immensely popular Design for Social Entrepreneurship course at the Rhode Island School of Design, where students are putting together fascinating developing world ideas. "

Woohoo!!
