Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChelsea Palmer is a decentralization-focused product and experience designer with a decade of experience founding community organizations and running operations for events and blockchain-focused initiatives. As Co-Founder and Experience Designer at Carpe Lunam and a longtime decentralization advocate, she blends event curation, nonprofit leadership, and educational outreach to make complex tech accessible—sometimes even through pedagogical rap. Her background spans MLIS-focused information management, community psychology, and big data analytics, equipping her to design user-centered systems that prioritize privacy, equitable access, and sustainable hardware practices. She has led operational launches from grassroots conferences (Dogecon Vancouver) to small-business tech stacks and contributed to governance and education efforts at the Human Data Commons Foundation. Known for translating academic theory into multimedia learning and for campaigning to “lock the web open,” she pairs idealistic vision with practical implementation skills in startup and nonprofit contexts. Based in Vancouver, she is particularly focused on widening access to research and resources in the Global South through decentralized models and open licensing.
