👋🏻 LaTeisha's Hello to BLK SHP

👋🏻 Hi, I’m LaTeisha

I design human-centered products, experiences, and communities. I believe we designed this world and we can design a better one.

I’m excited to connect with BLK SHP because the mission resonates so deeply. I don’t have an updated resume so I thought I’d do something in the spirit of a black sheep and send you this quick website instead!

I’m interested in web3, too

In addition to my work as Director of Service Design at a workforce development nonprofit and my creative projects, I explore web3 including DAOs and NFTs.

I’m a Remarkable Women NFT ambassador who’s interested in creating more diversity, equity, and inclusion within web3 among artists and collectors.

Identity Lab is an intimate but global community where we express, explore, and experiment with who we are and who we want to be, as individuals and in connection with others.
