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).

DFA LOVE



Well folks, after the 7 weeks finished up, looks like I'll be packing up my suite case and moving into the citay!! Of Chicago that is as I will now be working on Design for America full-time. Yes, did someone say, "dream come true?" Indeed.

For those of you that may not know the story, my connection to DFA is that on the historic night of November 4th, 2008, I bought the urls designforamerica.com/org with the dreams of one day starting an organization. One year later, was introduced to Professor Gerber of Northwestern (thank you Jocelyn Wyatt!), the faculty founder of Design for America and one year later, poof! Now I am here! Life is truly magical. I'll be refraining from posting here, but please keep up with our news on DFA's blog here!
