Hi, I'm Sloane.
Engineering student, entrepreneur, and builder.
I'm passionate about creating solutions at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and community. Throughout my time at the University of Michigan, I've led multidisciplinary engineering projects, worked with industry partners across defense and mobility, and founded organizations that connect students with hands-on opportunities to tackle real-world challenges.
My experiences in engineering design, emerging technologies, and startup development have shown me how much valuable material is discarded simply because the right connections don't exist.
That realization inspired Kapi.
Kapi was built to bridge the gap between people who have unused materials and those who can transform them into something new. By creating a platform for sharing, sourcing, and showcasing materials and projects, I hope to make sustainable creation more accessible while fostering a community of makers, engineers, artists, and innovators.
I believe the future of engineering isn't just about creating new things — it's about finding better ways to use what we already have.
