Hi there, I’m Connie—
Since 2016, I have been working at the intersection of design, business, and engineering to build new products and ventures. I took a short academic break in 2021 @ Harvard to develop engineering technologies and explore innovative capital to tackle climate change. More recently, I have invested and advised in Climate Tech startups through Third Sphere and Nucleate.
Ask me about:
/circular systems + nature-based solutions/synthetic biology for new materials
/food production & food waste in America
