Hi, I'm Jorrel — I like bringing people together.

I'm Jorrel Sto. Tomas, a local entrepreneur and community builder in Los Angeles. By day I build products and ventures; by night and on weekends, I build community here in Sawtelle.

The Sawtelle Neighborhood Collectivestarted from a simple idea: the best neighborhoods are the ones where people actually know each other. So I began hosting the kinds of gatherings I wanted to go to — low-key board game nights, and a Sip & Learn series that pairs a good drink with something new to learn.

No agenda beyond that. Just a standing invitation to show up, meet a neighbor, and make our corner of West LA feel a little more like home.

If you want to see what else I'm building, my work lives at jorrel.me.
