Kollab-Social – Kaleb Hébert
Explore, Design, Innovate.
Kollab-Social is a micro-social media mobile app built to help connect students with similar projects and interests. The long-terms goal of Kollab-Social is to provide a platform for collaboration and innovation by leveraging the powerful communities within institutions.
Currently this project is in alpha testing. Now that we have finished the base functionality of the app we are looking for bugs and features that the community wants in our application.

H & E Public Relations
For this venture Emilee and I came together to create H & E Public Relations. This is great entrepreneurial experience for the both of us because we are seniors in the public relations program here at Western. Together we want to help growing businesses within this minor and the campus community, reaching a variety of customers through both markets. The main focus of our venture is branding, social media, events/partnerships and media coverage. In the past we have done work for WDYC?, successfully growing a brand within the Bellingham community and online. Currently we are working with Rogue Alchemist Cosmetics, a brand focused on inclusivity and sustainability. We have worked with them on social media and creating content. We are always looking to expand our experience with brands and hope to do so in the future.
Seattle Children’s Hospital Gala
This November I had the pleasure of launching a one time Charity Gala benefiting Seattle Children’s Hospital with a really fantastic team. Colman Mitchell originally launched the project in Winter 2018, and I joined in Spring 2019. We were both really passionate about this as we had both been treated by SCH as children, so the cause was special to us. We felt that although we knew a lot of fellow students who had been treated there, now living in Bellingham, and yet there wasn’t a lot of awareness in Whatcom about the work that SCH and their Foundation does. We wanted to create a special event that people could get dressed up for (a PNW rarity), where we could showcase local sponsors, and raise money for the Uncompensated Care Fund.
“Step back in time and enjoy a fun evening while supporting an incredible cause!
We are bringing the glamour and excitement of the Roaring 20’s to our corner of the Northwest! The era will come to life through the timeless beauty of Bellingham’s iconic venue, Lairmont Manor. The event will feature gourmet hors d’oeuvres, live music, silent auction and more!
Our gala is in support of the Seattle Children’s Hospital Uncompensated Care Fund. Last year, Seattle Children’s Hospital provided $4,991,990 of uncompensated care for Whatcom County and $164 million for Washington State. These contributions are made possible through the support of a passionate and generous community. This event is an effort to increase awareness and support for the cause as it plays a vital role in our community’s youth and future change-makers.

The event was Nov. 2nd, at Bellingham’s historic Lairmont Manor in Fairhaven, and it was fantastic. We ended up having about 50 guests, and about 20 sponsors! We were able to donate just over $8,000 to the Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation for the Uncompensated Care Fund. Although the members of our team are about to graduate, we would love to see future E levels continue the project annually, to grow the event!
Rogue Alchemist Cosmetics
Rogue Alchemist Cosmetics is an upcoming makeup brand that is launching with a flagship product line of custom foundations. This brand is currently in its early stages, but we are building our brand to be as inclusive and sustainable as possible. In an effort to increase awareness of this venture, Rogue Alchemist Cosmetics will be hosting a promotional event this December. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to learn professional skincare techniques and do their makeup so that it best compliments their skin shade and type. Following the event, clients can take photographs of their finished holiday party looks in our photo booth and then participate in a focus group where they will give their honest impressions on their experience with the brand.
