Now she manages the group of hackers that provides mercenary support to start-ups in the TechStars incubator; fundraises for scholarships to NYU’s ITP program, which she graduated from in 2004; and organizes initiatives like the Design Trust, a temporary collective of designers who helped out hackers at the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon which she is now working to make permanent. “I've been really obsessed with getting more designers involved in technology and entrepreneurship in NYC and am looking to forge closer relationships with designers and academia to help address the shortage of T-shaped, analytical designers at start-ups,” she said.

She’s also helping Union Square Ventures-funded start-up Shapeways with product design, and serves as a mentor to start-ups at the recently-launched Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator.
