Kris Kepler

Senior Director, Programs & Impact, Lava Mae

San Francisco

Kris leads Programs and Impact at Lava Mae. She has spent the last 20 years playing dual roles as strategist and creator of physical and virtual experiences for private sector clients. Kris’s strengths are in understanding, strategizing, and designing for impactful human centered experiences. Kris joined Lava Mae to bring her skills to a very under-served population: our houseless neighbors - with the intent of creating innovative, compelling and empowering programs that make a direct positive impact in their lives. Kris thrives on witnessing the powerful impact that giving the gift of respect to someone who never receives it has - both in their lives and in the larger community.
