Tameka: What are three words people use to describe you?

Cameron: entrepreneurial, passionate, ambitious (I swear I asked people for these).

T: Who is you biggest role model?

T: What has been your greatest accomplishment/memory at Emory so far? 

C: Getting cut from the golf team. Haha, no, when I won the RECESS Pitch Competition and they flew me out to LA Sophomore year to pitch to Mark Cuban!

T: Can you tell us a little bit about The White T-Shirt Project? 

C: The White T-Shirt project started as an idea to help my sister make a living by helping people, which is what she has always loved to do. However, soon after we developed the idea, she found an awesome job as a Community Manager at VIA, a ride sharing company with a social vision.. Fast forward a year and my second start-up in the same number of years had just been put on hold, and I wanted to really launch something. Furthermore, over that year I started to pay much more attention to street style and high fashion and developed a passion for it. So two months later, with the help of two Co-Founders (Greg Santos BBA ’16 and Giovanni Garboni Col ’17), I finished writing a couple thousand lines of code for the website, signed partnerships with a high profile LA-Based street artist and developed a print on demand supply chain, resulting in the launch of TWTSP • The White T-Shirt Project. Right now, I am using TWTSP as a way to learn the core operations of an e-commerce business, as well as a way to channel my passion for fashion in art. While I have no concrete plans for TWTSP in the future, I hope to grow it to sizable revenues and have a measurable impact and then sell the project to someone with the same inspiration.

T: Do you have any projects in the works? 

C: TWTSP is definitely what I am focusing most of my time on, but other projects include Lingo, the digital assistant for brick and mortar shopping, the Goizueta Entrepreneurship Hub, a 12 person incubator at the Atlanta Tech Village we just launched this past month, and iRefurbish-IT, a smartphone repair service I started back in high school when I was 16.

T: What is the next thing you want to cross off your bucket list?

C: That’s a tough one – I want to do so many things. However, if I had to choose it would probably be to skydive over a tropical island…

T: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

C: 31 hmm. Looking out over the San Francisco Bay from my biotech/tech start-up, thinking about the last 10 years and how my company, and myself, can leave an impact on the way humans live. I also hope to be a year or two into the marriage with my dream wife, with a couple of kids on the way. Lofty sights, but a boy can dream!
