Hello.

I'm Holly. Lovely to meet you. 

I care about crafting experiences that are inviting, empowering, and thoughtful. I am fascinated by the way people think about and interact with technology, and the ways in which we can improve lives through innovation & education. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Information Science, Systems, and Technology from Cornell University’s College of Engineering and a master's degree in Nonprofit Management with a minor in Impact Entrepreneurship and specialization in Design Strategies from the Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment at The New School. My background includes roles in user experience design, research, and communications.

I live in Brooklyn, New York with my husband and one too many houseplants. In my free time, you can find me reading, cooking for my friends, or brewing a cup of tea. 

If you’ve got a project you think we should collaborate on, please reach out!

Reading

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." -C.S. Lewis

I'm a pretty voracious reader with a goal to read at least 30 books per year. I keep my Goodreads shelf up-to-date & maintain a Bookshop.org storefront.
