I am a founder and co-CEO of Kaleidoco, an entertainment technology company that builds mixed reality experiences and AI/ AR technology. We had the honor of opening TED2022 with Particle Ink, our first original property. Previous to Kaleidoco, I was a narrative and documentary film producer and a Sundance Lab Alumni, the founder of media investment fund Foss Fund, and an executive in the Foundation and Global Client Strategy departments at Creative Artists Agency. I also founded 6West consulting where I worked with media and entertainment companies, applying and executing original content-driven strategies. I currently serve on the Advisory Boards of Harness and Notes for Notes and sit on the NYC council of Vital Voices.

Telling stories that evoke change. Female leadership. Innovation in entertainment technology and new forms of storytelling.

The entertainment ecosystem is undergoing a radical transformation with the simultaneous rise of mixed reality technology and blockchain, expanding transmedia storytelling beyond screens and into the physical world. Stories, characters, and worlds are no longer confined to predetermined environments. They now exist around us, inviting deeper participation. With blockchain enabling real ownership, this shift turns audiences into active collaborators, blurring the line between fiction and reality like never before.

My team and I had the honor of being the opening performance of TED2022. Working with the TED team to make it happen was pure joy and participating in the days that followed was exhilarating and transformative. It was all such a spectacular experience that now I'm hooked forever!
