Our Team

My mother is a midwife, and growing up she taught me all about women's rights in childbirth. My father acted as Frederick Douglass in tours of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony's grave.
My family friend taught me about science, and I grew up obsessed with environmentalism and human rights.
I have been working on Updraft for 8 years.

The Story of Updraft - The App for Activism


At age 12, I had the vision of building a physical school of activism.


Then at age 14 I saw that building more than one school would prove to be a difficult task. I then began to devise a system by which you can scale best practices in projects for change.


At age 16 I left high school in order to start networking and to continue designing Updraft. I got an internship at a bakery and fermentary as a fermentation expert.

At 17 I was studying sociology, anthropology and philosophy as research for Updraft. During this time I was working on Updraft with my previous co-founder, Aaron Verbrigge.


Once I turned 18, I left college and started Goose Design Co., LLC in order to develop my design for Updraft into a working platform.

From 2017 until now we've been servicing ethical businesses for revenue and developing Updraft. Here's a label we made for a local organic mushroom company.

Now, at age 20, Updraft is finally out in the world!
