creative firms; as the former president of frog
design and Quirky she has advised companies on design
and innovation issues for decades. In 2016 she started the Center

Technologies . It has since become the fastest growing
school in the College of Fine Arts. She is a co-founder of mobile
video insights firm Vidlet, as well as a board member and advisor
