I’m Co-founder and Executive Director of Fabricatorz Foundation which hosts Bassel Khartabil Fellowship, New Palmyra, Qiware, the Fashion Freedom Initiative, Font Library and Openclipart.
I co-founded Oui.Gallery, a global art gallery emerging artists making innovative shows in Saint Louis & Hong Kong.
I’m known for my early passion for Open Source Software, Hardware and Free Culture. My first Open Source Project is the drawing app, Inkscape. I created and still maintain Openclipart.
I also am known for my early work on Creative Commons, Identi.ca(Status.net), and Qi Hardware. All three projects inspired me to go to the source of manufacturing, China. I lived in Beijing for a number of years to learn hardware manufacturing where I worked with technologists and artists.
I work daily on international business and creative technology innovation with an emphasis on emerging decentralized technologies.
I like to cycle with my friends around the world.
