Michelle has spent her career across finance and consumer tech, but she’s a creative at heart. She currently works with companies across the arts + hospitality industries and serves on the Board of Chashama, a nonprofit turning underutilized commercial real estate into studios for NYC’s emerging artists.

She also writes Pattern Recognition, an anti-niche newsletter. It reconsiders traditional left-brain / right-brain boundaries and takes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring design, culture, and business. Her writing has been featured in YOLO Journal and coolstuff.nyc.

Michelle studied Comparative Literature at Princeton University and earned her MBA at Harvard Business School.
