Starting a travel & design blog had never been my goal. I wanted to study architecture but I got an MBA first and went to work as a strategist for McKinsey. After a few years, I moved into brand consulting. Now I help companies, private equity firms and amazing startups - from Aldo Shoes, Anheuser Busch, bgood, Estee Lauder, Nestle, to Samsung, THINX and ULTA Beauty - tell their brand stories. I love bringing new brands to life and nurturing them to success. When I am not creating a cool brand story, I walk around New York City discovering what’s new in its always-busy art scene. See what catches my eye over on Instagram.

I started Loves Arts Will Travel after years of traveling when I found myself setting guidebooks aside and instead looking for new art galleries and installations, cool street art, interesting contemporary design stores, minimalist restaurants, and sleek places to stay. It is my platform to share travel stories and to have engaging conversations about style, design, and contemporary art. I hope to inspire you to explore modern art and design in your travels, and to live a more creative life.
