Participated in an invention building accelerator and business pitching competition and won. 

Lived in an experimental live/work community for arts and entrepreneurs and then designed a multi-faceted approach to addressing the needs of this community and the space they lived in, put it into a grant, the grant was accepted, so I formed a team with the property owner and visionary and other residents to see the project through.
