EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

"I believe in maximizing the use of sustainable and resource-efficient business solutions to address major societal concerns. One of the most pressing and ongoing social needs is to provide responsive, economic and dignified temporary shelter to those who are displaced from their homes. Cardborigami is an elegant, human-centered design product that can help expedite the transition from displacement to rebuilding lives."

"Design fundamentally impacts the daily life of people. Architects are armed with aggressively creative ideas and innovative solutions to complex problems. With more designers taking leadership and focusing their talent on socially responsible design, the world would be a better place."

MIKE WHEETMAN

VICE CHAIR

"I strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to succeed in life and in business, no matter their background or circumstances. Homelessness is a terrible situation for many people where they may not have had adequate support or opportunities. Tina has developed an incredible innovative and creative solution that helps those in immediate need, and is a part of a bigger solution to strategize change and support for the long term."

VICTORIA HARDING

TREASURER

"I believe in educating individuals about the different forms of homelessness and the wide range of reasons why someone might become homeless. Because, let’s face it: “Life happens.” Growing up in the City of Angels I feel that it is my duty to help with challenges that our community faces and the current challenge today is homelessness and the need for emergency shelters. I know that Cardborigami will inspire social change and allow for those experiencing homelessness to maintain their dignity. "

“I feel like it is our job as human beings to take care of each other. And if we see someone struggling and don’t do anything about it, we are failing and wasting our time on this planet.”
