I'm the founder and executive director of
Project: Website, leading strategy for the digital nonprofit that works with a
network of volunteer designers and developers in 25+ countries to
build websites for nonprofits at no cost.
I teach the
Web Design DeCal, Berkeley's popular intro to web design course, delivering weekly
lectures and developing curriculum for a class of 120+. Currently, I'm
rewriting of the codebase of the course's custom learning management
system.

promising startups with resources in the entrepreneurship community.
LAUNCH alumni have collectively raised $200MM+ in follow-on funding.

through innovation and education.
