Emily Uyeda Kantrim

I design and launch public/private partnerships and serve as an advisor or consultant for:

  • Municipalities and government entities

  • Social service and social impact organizations

  • And/or provide human-focused leadership for start-ups and built environment companies

My current client portfolio includes:

  • City of Los Angeles (Mayor’s Office of Economic Opportunity)

  • Affordable Housing Developer (name withheld)

  • Safe Parking LA (software implementation)

  • Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles

I have co-founded non-profit, for-profit, NGO, and initiatives in academia. I am curious for all networking from students and academics, HR managers at big organizations, and people running a startup in their basement.

My passion projects (open for new partnerships) are:

  • Circular Economy/DIY initiatives with Homemade Modern (1.6M YouTube subscribers where our designs have been made across six continents)

  • FAMILIA: using the Doughnut Economic model to address “shrinking villages” phenomenon in rural Italy using social cooperative

  • Matching Universal Basic Income with Universal Basic Services - a workforce program in Los Angeles for people with lived experience of homelessness who currently live in permanent supportive housing

I split my time between Los Angeles (where my cats live) and in Tallinn (where I am amassing a collection of wool skirts).
