Co-FounderWe Are The Ones
Los Angeles, United StatesFreelance
I design and plan impact strategies for purpose-driven organizations across digital and physical experiences.
Multidisciplinary and creative, with a penchant for service design, brand development, data modeling and storytelling. I solve social problems with design thinking.
My work as a founding Board member and program director at Lava Mae, an award-winning, disruptive homeless services nonprofit in California, was featured in global press outlets including NYTimes, CNN, BBC, Forbes, Fast Company, and more.
Since 2015 I have led several projects focusing on solutions to poverty, houselessness and disaffection in the US and EU.
As someone who has recovered from being unhoused and unemployable, I bring a breadth of knowledge in Human-Centered Design, a deep personal commitment to the people I serve and lived experience that keeps me rooted in solutions blending personal growth and development with partnerships that move people into homes and make it possible for them to thrive.
