I’m brought to this work through my family’s immigration stories and their journey to re-build their communities. By celebrating differences, I hope we can create workplaces and structures that allow all of us to belong and thrive.
Heather Shen,
Co-founder & Chief Product Officer
My parents’ fight for educational equity is what has inspired me to fight for access and opportunity. Our systems and structures should allow us all to thrive in our workplaces and in the places we frequent everyday — that’s why I do this work.
Elise Smith,
Co-Founder & Chief
executive Officer
Our Team
I want to encourage empathy and appreciation for one another’s differences and perspectives. I want to help set a trajectory against systematic inequality and towards a future where diversity is celebrated. At Praxis Labs I get to use VR to create things with some of the most amazing humans while doing just that!
