Emily Pilloton is the founder and executive director of Project H Design, a non‐profit design agency founded in 2008 to use design and hands‐on building for community and educational benefit. Trained in architecture and product design, Emily now spends most days in rural Bertie County, North Carolina, teaching her high school Studio H design/build curriculum, in which students design and build full‐scale architectural projects for their hometown. She is the author of the book Design Revolution: 100 Products That Empower People , a compendium and call‐to‐action for design for social impact, and has appeared on the TED Stage as well as The Colbert Report.
