Justin Lowell-Bellew

Development Director

Once upon a time, in a land a few thousand miles away, Justin worked in Socially Responsible Investment Research, or SRI. Having spent three years working with multi-billion dollar clients, providing them with the best available research with respect to social and environmental issues of publicly traded companies, he realized that something was missing. About that time, he ran into Ethan McCutchen and discovered that perhaps what was missing was a comparable or even better tool, made freely available to the commons.

Armed with a background in Psychology, Economics, and French, by way of a surf trip to Brazil where he learned Portugese and traveled with shamans in the Amazon, Justin returned to the US to help his talented bretheren bring this tool to the people. Behold: Hooze.

Make a connection between simplicity of tools relative to the mastery of the artist and not detracting from the beauty of the work being done.
