Olivia Ildefonso and Charles Grosperrin
Owners and founders of North Arrow, Charles and Olivia strive to help the underprivileged community and expose environmental injustices through visualization and storytelling. With the combined backgrounds of marketing/business and activism, North arrow was born. They not only feel like they need to expose injustices and shed light to NGO's that are working to dissolve them, but they also feel it is necessary for the public to know about these injustices as well. A lot of non-profits are doing great work, but do not have the marketing necessary to voice their presence in the world. Thats where North Arrow comes in. Listen in the podcast's first ever duo interview: Olivia and Charles.
