• Founder and CEO

  • Feb 2018 - Present

  My mission was to increase the scale of consciousness of what buying a useful product does for the consumer and for the environment. I conceptualized a digitally native brand to manufacture products directly to the end consumer, avoiding wastage and involving the consumer in a collaborative design process. In an effort towards responsible ownership and production, I envisioned a brand dedicated to avoiding the depletion of natural resources by creating eco-friendly products from ethically sourced raw materials. #Less stuff, more life https://linktr.ee/Voited Show less
