Projects
The following are just a few examples of my creative endeavors outside work.
Slawstinbury Festival
My life partner and I orchestrated a 4-day, 60-person immersive festival and retreat featuring 40+ curated experiences across wellness, art, movement, music, and community.
This was a highly participatory, community-driven experience where guests didn’t just attend; they co-created the event itself.
Yes… it also happened to be my wedding.

Coffee
I roast small batch coffee and enjoy traveling to locations where growing, roasting, and brewing coffee is deeply engrained in culture. From Ethiopia to Java to Italy to Australia.
I’m interested in the full system: how environment, processing, and culture shape the final experience.
Virtuous Venture
I ran a publication that highlighted mission-driven founders across various sectors.
Angels.VC
I’m a founding member of Angels.VC, a modern, women-led community of accredited angel investors. Our goal is to get more women on the cap table. We write checks and provide support and events for women investors and entrepreneurs.
SoGal LP & Fempire Angel Investor
SoGal Ventures invests in women-led and underestimated founders. I am an LP in their Fund 2 as well as a member of the angel investment community, Fempire.
Mentor for Gener8tor
Talent is nationally distributed, but opportunity is not. Gener8tor is a nationally-ranked venture capital firm and accelerator. I mentor founders located in non-traditional tech-hubs such as Milwaukee, WI on their engineering and product strategy.
Cryptocurrency for a Beautiful Planet
I researched and published practical ways in which blockchain can be leveraged to align economic and environmental incentives.
Teller
Designed at a Hackathon in Singapore, Teller was a proof-of-concept mobile application that crowdsourced the ATM.
The Mustache Project
During my travels, I believed that humor could transcend language and cultural barriers to cultivate connection. The Mustache Project was intended as a means break down those barriers with a silly prop.
College
Project
2015
Programmed a Tiva Launchpad with C to recreate the game Frogger.
Just for Fun
2015
I built a hanging piano with conductive paint and a Raspberry Pi.
IoT Club
2014
When Google Glass was cool, I worked on a team in IoT club to launch a virtual campus tour.
PercFusion
My team and I designed a minimally invasive method for spinal fusion designed for a physician client at the University of Wisconsin Hospital. The patented device allows neurosurgeons to implant a bone graft along the vertebral column in a minimally invasive fashion.
Easy Build Rehabilitation Device
My team and I modeled, built and shipped a rehabilitation device for lower extremities of patients in Honduras. The focus was to craft it to be easily assembled and replicable with local materials
