Preferred Futures on Earth and in Space
Implications Wheel workshop, designed to explore the effectiveness of near futures as a way to work backwards and frame today’s priorities.
In this instance, the central questions was: “What are the possible implications of humans living and working in space?”
One outcome of the workshop was to help identify core competencies for a successful and well-functioning society that could be a proxy for a conversation about key qualities in building a team.

Global Fashion Battle: Startup Weekend FashionTech Paris
The main event of the first Paris Fashion Tech Week, the Global Fashion Battle was a weekend long hackathon supported by Startup Weekend, now Up Global. As the lead organizer, I recruited volunteers, jury members and weekend mentors, and acted as lead facilitator. We had a sold out event at NUMA, one of Paris’ first and most prominent co-working spaces.
The winning team selected by the jury at the end of the weekend went on to pitch in front of a panel in Poznan, Poland at their 8th annual Start Browar art symposium.
It was the Paris team, Clothier, that took home the grand prize!
