Marcelino J. Alvarez (Portland, Oregon) is Founder and CEO of Uncorked Studios, a product design agency focused on the intersection between people and the physical environments in which they use products. He believes in a world where innovation applies to entrepreneurs, non-profits, and the world’s largest brands in equal measure. In 2011, he co-founded Safecast, an open data initiative to help residents of Japan report and understand the levels of radiation following the Fukushima earthquake and nuclear disaster. Uncorked has since partnered with the Bezos Family Foundation, the March of Dimes, and Magnum Foundation to design and develop social impact products. Previously, Marcelino served as Executive Interactive Producer at Wieden + Kennedy. He produced the Nike Chalkbot, a robot, which printed messages of hope and inspiration on the Tour de France in 2009 and 2010.
