Managing Director @ Arktura Ventures

INNOVATION STATEMENT

AS AN ARCHITECT, I AM COMPELLED TO REDEFINE THE MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS THAT COMPRISE OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT. TO DO THIS WELL, WE MUST: ERADICATE BIAS, DEMOCRATIZE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SHARE RESOURCE. LET’S MAKE SPACE[S] FOR EVERYONE.



 

PIVOTAL MOMENT

Lessons learned are cumulative and each, in their own way, are pivotal. It’s sometimes difficult to identify why or how in the moment… but they are.

INTERESTS

Seeking community: colleagues, collaborators, partners and mentorship. Also, interesting spoons.

SUPERPOWERS

Humor above all else, empathy as an excavation tool, the connection of disparate peoples/ideas/pedagogies, an annoyingly boundless sense of curiosity, supporter of non-conformity and consumer of interesting gins.
