I am interested in creating complimentary currencies and urban ecocity incubators!! We can use the open-source model to create a user-generated, editable exchange system for people and groups to create customized value flows, using the internet and phones as a platform. This is already happening, we just need to broaden the community of collaborators that invest their effort and wealth into the systems.

I am currently helping out with Puget Sound Community Change, a loyalty system to support local, sustainable businesses in Seattle and eventually all of Puget Sound.

I am a recent graduate of The Evergreen State College. I have primarily studied ecological agriculture, sustainable design, and green business theory.
I have been working for two years to start a student-run cafe at our school. We are finally purchsing equipment now! I was also deeply involved in the redesign project of the student union building at Evergreen. (I was on the school's design committee and interned with the architect.)

I've also done a NOLS semester, and have spent plenty of time in the wilderness in northern Canada and the Kimberly region of Western Australia. I have also interned at Sirius Community, a beautiful ecovillage in Massachusetts.

I am interested in eco-cities, and attended the EcoCity World Summit in San Francisco last spring. I would like to meet people in the Seattle area interested in realizing this vision.

Some design work for The Flaming Eggplant Cafe, our student-run cafe.
