My story

  • I love indulging in all types of anime, narrative-driven video games, and music. I’d pick a full Studio Ghibli binge watch or a game like Ori and the Blind Forest over any prestige drama any day. Quotes like “The best blaze burns brightest when circumstances are at their worst” from Howl’s Moving Castle really resonate with me, along with books like Big Magic and Orbiting the Giant Hairball that celebrate vulnerability, creativity, and radical authenticity.

I'm Mimo Haile —a Social Impact Strategist who has spent a decade building at the intersection of tech, equity, and community. From growing a $3M developer portfolio at Google Play to designing brand strategy for mission-driven nonprofits, I keep coming back to one question: what would this look like if empathy were the operating system?

The Empathy Lab is my answer to that question — a practice rooted in public health methodology, sharpened by AI for Good training, and built for organizations ready to move from intention to infrastructure.

My biggest accomplishment is being a mom to a wonderful boy, Yosh.
