Built toward the gap.
Kevin's foundation in industrial design & manufacturing is built on an unquenchable thirst to innovate.

Raised in homesteading and self-reliance, Gaelan understood early that waste is mismanagement, not the problem. Author of The Compost Powered Water Heater, board member of the US Composting Council. His insight: human waste is not just manageable, it is valuable.
Together — Completing the System
Kevin brings product, manufacturing, and user experience. Gaelan brings systems thinking, scientific foundations, and market validation of waste as a resource. Together they form a full-circle closed loop: a reinvention of the toilet into a Resource Recovery Receptacle.
