Before I launched Tactile, I was the VP of Marketing & Communications for The New Republic. While I was at TNR, I oversaw brand strategy, communications, revenue marketing, and audience development. Prior to TNR, I led brand marketing for the Guardian and led brand marketing for NewsCred. Before that, I led the AOL Artists program at AOL, where I created a network of 110 emerging artists and commissioned digital art for the AOL brand and for advertisers. While there, I also was the brand manager across all of their media properties (from Huffpost and TechCrunch, to StyleList and MAKERS.)

In my career, I have done creative strategy for brands like Casper, SquareSpace, Ben & Jerry's, Hearst, Amex, WeWork, and more. My agency has worked with brands including Argent, Dripkit, Fabled, Par en Per, Cycles & Sex, The Collective (of Us), Modernist Financial, and more.

Before my career in marketing and media, I worked in the arts, curated pop-up shows, and made lots of things (I still sometimes do that too.)
