Projects

People With Penelope

Founder
|

Jun 2016 - Sep 2016

Established People With Penelope as a channel to document our interactions during our participation in the Mongol Rally, a charity event spanning from London to Mongolia. The goal of the event was to drive an impractical vehicle, in our case my vintage Mini Cooper, from London to Mongolia. We used this as a platform to raise money and awareness for Social Advocates for Youth, a local Sonoma County charity.
