About me / About business or organisation:

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 my alma mater, where I founded the advanced studio, Design for Social Entrepreneurship, as the youngest adjunct faculty after working at Design that Matters as a brand strategist. I am currently working as a marketing and sustainability consultant for a social enterprise in Kathmandu, Nepal, and getting ready to move back to SF after 8 years of departure.
