Emily is a sucker for great stories. As lead writer and content strategist, she heads IDEO.org's editorial strategy, writes punchy copy, and helps hone brands that bring joy, ease, and belonging to people’s lives.

Prior to IDEO.org, she worked as a copywriter at The Grommet, a product launch platform for small makers and entrepreneurs. To satiate her appetite for visual as well as written language, Emily double majored in communications and film studies at Boston College.

Emily was born and raised in Colombia—or for García Marquez fans out there: the Land of Magical Realism. When she’s not storytelling at IDEO.org, you can find her 'tertuliando' with friends or perusing your local vintage store.
