A Little Info on The Founders: Justin

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was often surrounded by the latest and greatest technology. From a young age, I found that my brain works differently from most people. After lots of testing, I was diagnosed with a few learning disabilities. These disabilities make it hard for me to read, write, and learn at a level that is consistent with my peers. However, being in San Francisco was my saving grace. I truly was raised at the intersection of liberal arts and technology. Technology helps me learn. From a device that takes pictures of a book and reads it to me, to a pen that can record a teacher's lecture as I'm taking notes, to being the first high school in the Bay Area to adopt iPads for learning, technology empowers me and can empower all of us to do great work. My whole life, I've taught others how to use technology, embrace new ideas, and help others unlock their creativity. I found myself interested in the arts at a young age and got into acting. Storytelling is a powerful way of shifting global consciousness for the better. After going to Berridge Programs, an acting conservatory in Brix, France, I unlocked a new artistic consciousness that would propel me into pursuing many creative outlets, from acting and filmmaking to visual art and writing. I hope to make this space for artists to collaborate and inspire others to unlock their potential.
