With a Bachelors in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and a Masters in Media Design from the Art Center College of Design, Dustin has been lucky to benefit from an excellent design education.

In recent years, Dustin has been focused on facilitating the renewable energy transition. He spent 7 years designing PG&E's Operations and Maintenance software, understanding how large scale utility infrastructure relates to technology that supports a more resilient, safer network. Dustin then worked at QCells to expand their "completely clean" energy portfolio, helping to launch products relating to energy trading, VPP, and financial simulations — among others. Continuing on in the climate tech space, Dustin helped to grow the home electrification startup Sealed and set it on the path to maturity.

For his next step, Dustin is co-founder of Calochortus Collective, a startup bringing native, sustainable, and biodiverse gardens to the mainstream.
