A few projects I’ve launched:

I co-founded Camping to Connect, a BIPOC-led program addressing teen social isolation by creating deep, in-person connections in nature. We guide young men from underserved communities into the outdoors for immersive nature-based experiences grounded in emotional vulnerability, mentorship, and brotherhood. In these safe, supportive spaces, nature becomes a catalyst for mental health, personal growth, and a lasting sense of belonging.

I also produced Wood Hood, an award-winning short documentary film about the program.

Shared Meals uses immersive Portal technology to bring together diverse voices from around the world for transformative dialogue. By sharing a virtual space—and breaking bread together—strangers connect in ways that spark empathy and a deeper sense of shared humanity. I’ve helped bring Portals to places like the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and Starbucks HQ, and co-created a global event with Twitter that linked 45 cities in real time.

My public art project, RickshawNYC (IG: @RickshawNYC) is an authentic cycle rickshaw from Dhaka, Bangladesh hand-painted by one of the country’s last-remaining, dedicated rickshaw artists. In 2023, UNESCO inscribed "Rickshaws and Rickshaw painting in Dhaka" on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
