In 2016 I left the advertising world to co-found the mission driven food and tech company, TuckrBox. TuckrBox, the first farm-to-lunchbox meal delivery for kids, and was founded with one mission, to create a healthier generation through food and technology.
In March of 2016 I was one of 16 designers chosen from a global applicant pool to participate in class 3 of Googles incubator program, called Google 30 Weeks. While there, I learned from top tech moguls how to rapidly ideate, validate and iterate — and left a changed designer, with pitch deck and product exploding with potential. In May of 2016 I won the New York App Idea Awards for TuckrBox at General Assembly, affording the company $70k in app design and development. TuckrBox is launching in September of 2017 in New York City.
I am currently an active community member of Food and Tech Connect, Camp Campbell, Lesbians Who Tech, AIGA NY, The Art Directors Club, Foodstand and Slow Food NYC.
