About Kaio Freitas
Design Strategist & Social Innovator at Pozo Lab
I'm Kaio, and the intersection of design, tech, and social impact is my sweet spot.
Like Derek Sivers says: "I’m ambitiously focused on creating. More than anything, I want to make lots of stuff."
I'm obsessed with coming up with new ideas and creating all sorts of things - whether it's apps, services, companies, or projects. It's been amazing to be able to travel all over the world and work with different organizations, from Brazil and the US to Mexico, Kenya, South Korea, and beyond!
This shaped my life and helped me from launching and selling Brazil's largest sustainable fashion platform to working as Head of Product for an impact-driven startup in Los Angeles.
Currently based in Mexico City, I lead a social innovation lab for an NGO that fights human trafficking in Central America. My main objective is to help changemakers tackle pressing challenges through innovation and a human-centered design approach.
As your mentor, I can offer guidance on:
Navigating the intersection of design and social impact Developing human-centered solutions for complex challenges Starting your own projects Working in different cultures Finding your original design
