lavie ohana — (they/she)

hi there. i’m lavie.

helping build bridges to the stars by day, general-purpose nerd by night.

expect random thoughts, project build logs, pretty much anything my job wouldn’t yell at me for talking about. (wait, i don’t have a job right now, unless you want to help fix that)

// a little more about me

existing at the intersection of space, urbanism, photography, design, and a general love for things that move fast. los angeles native representing the 818 til the day i die. one of those folks, if you couldn’t already tell.

// the story so far

started and led a team called space scout from 2019 until 2023. broke some barriers, broke the news about the birth of a new lunar human spaceflight program, and wrote about some test flights.

also helped start a group called the hot nozzle society in 2021. did some branding work, designed and flew some rockets, helped organize some events. on my own time, got level 1 and level 2 certified with the tripoli rocketry association (#28294). level 3? watch this space.

joined a scrappy lil rocket company called abl space systems in 2023. got to shoot some hotfires, help take some cool photos, and pursue a bunch of other cool opportunities. switched to the dark side leading into 2024 and had a fun time selling rockets and other cool tactically responsive space things with the strategic development team. got to tell the world about a not-so-very-fun day. joined a bunch of friends on an involuntary 2-month paid vacation in august 2024. as for the next step? we’ll find out soon.
