Social impact

How can technology help people learn, live well, care for each other and stay connected?

This question has stayed with me across very different projects: helping families stay close across distance, making online spaces safer and supporting people's health. But in the fast pace of building technology, it's easy to forget who isn't in the room. For me, social impact adds another layer to this work: taking the same question to underserved and vulnerable communities. Recently, I've started taking on projects like the ones below, and I'm passionate about doing more.
