District Innovation didn’t start as an agency, a portfolio, or a consulting business — It was born as a natural extension from years teaching, mentorship, community building and hands-on practice with startups and founders.
These experiences shaped an approach grounded in collaboration, listening, and the belief that great services and products are built through learning — not guesswork or gut feelings.
Today, that work helps founders navigate critical decisions with more clarity, confidence, and intention.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across content & content strategy, digital marketing, education, and design, working with startups, guiding career changers and supporting early founders.
For seven years, I taught UX and product design, mentoring hundreds of students while partnering with local startups, incubators, and mission-driven organizations throughout the DMV community.
Democratizing tech education, connection and community are the core values at the center of District Innovation. We are here to serve.
