When my team and I rebranded our agency to Atlantic 57, it represented the culmination of six years of growth, from a small team of under ten to a full-service agency of 50. The agency continued to evolve after I left, and has now spun out as Long Dash, independent from The Atlantic. When I re-read the Medium post from our re-launch, it takes me right back to what it was like to have gotten to that point in our growth. I remember feeling grateful, lucky, and proud.

As GM, I helped Bloomberg Quicktake expand from short-form social news to 24/7 streaming channel. 

We hosted our first virtual upfront in the spring of 2021 to showcase our new lineup of prime-time shows and talent, including NBA all star Chris Paul and Business of Fashion Founder Imran Amed.

My husband, close friend, and I created this cocktail map when friends started asking how to stock their home bar to survive the lockdown of the early pandemic. The map helps a user navigate to 30 different wonderful cocktails with a home bar of ten key spirits. The placement of the cocktails on the map is based on principal component analysis to determine which combination of factors best captured the differences between these drinks. This project ultimately led us to create a lively instagram account, [url=https://app.onportrait.com/portfolio/embitteredspirt][color=#0547bc][/color][/url], to keep sharing our creations.
