PAD The Future of Housing

05/20/2026

Honored to be standing alongside this lineup. 🇲🇽🇺🇸
When Michigan Tech Week makes space for Latino voices in tech, you show up.
Andrea Michele Taylor (Livseea) · Martina Guzmán (Verdad) · Sergio Rodenzuela (Tansy) · Andrés Ospina (CreateValue™️) · and me, representing Design Think Tank and P.A.D.
Five founders. Five companies. One stage. Real conversations about what it takes to build in Michigan — from where we come from, to where we're taking this ecosystem.
If you've ever wondered what it looks like when the people doing the building come from the communities the building is supposed to serve — come find us.
📍 Great Lakes Stage · Newlab at Michigan Central
🗓️ [CONFIRM DATE] · 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
I'll be telling a story that took twenty-five years to finish — and it starts inside the building we'll be standing in.
Thank you to Laura Chavez and the Michigan Tech Week team for opening this space. Representation in the rooms where the future gets built matters.
They say think outside the box. We don't even see the box.
See you on the stage.
