William (Rhizome) Cottiss
I design experiences that help people understand, trust, and meaningfully participate in complex systems.
Experience & Expertise
I've developed coordination systems, web infrastructure, and growth strategies for organizations including:
- Recovery Logistics - Finance and admin support
- CROs - Offline-first disaster coordination
- Access Café (Montpelier, VT) - Community resilience initiative
- Access Ecologies - Web development & experience design
My work bridges emergency operations, web development, and systems design to help organizations function effectively under both normal conditions and high-stakes situations.
Current Projects
I’m building
ResilienceToolkit.org, a public-interest platform developed through real disaster response . It helps communities orient quickly, understand what applies to them, and take coordinated action under pressure.
