Welcome back to Candid Conversations, in this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Alice Chun. She is the founder and CEO of Solight Design, the inventor of the SolarPuff lantern and the co-author of “Ground Rules in Humanitarian Design.” She has also been a professor for the Parsons School of Design and Columbia University. Alice also appeared in “The Book of Gutsy Women” by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton, as well as the Apple TV docuseries “Gutsy,” based on the book. She has also been featured on Good Morning America and The Tamron Hall Show.
Using her solar powered origami designed lanterns, Alice Chun has brought light to countless people around the world during their time of darkness. Her Solight Design lanterns have provided humanitarian aid in countries such as: Haiti, Puerto Rico, Ukraine and Africa. Alice was inspired to create them when she came across a family using kerosene for light. Knowing that the chemicals can be harmful, especially to children, she wanted to create a sustainable option for those without electricity.
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did conducting it. Alice is such a kind and wonderful person. In this episode we discussed her early life and humanitarian efforts, as well as her Solight Design lanterns.
