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

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).
