Jeff Wilson

Founder & Professor Dumpster
KASITA

Dr. Jeff Wilson is a pioneer and thought leader on the future of housing and CEO at KASITA, an innovative housing solution of smart, beautifully-designed micro homes. The inspiration for KASITA emerged from one of Wilson’s many unconventional social experiments-- in this case a 33 sq. ft. modified trash dumpster he called home for a year in the name of science. His work on housing, minimalism, and social experimentation has been featured in The Atlantic, the New York Times, and The Washington Post, among others. Beyond dumpster diving and running a startup, Wilson enjoys traveling and has lived, worked, and couch surfed in over 75 countries.
