Areas of Expertise
Driving Innovation with Big Data
Emily is a Principal Strategy and Systems Designer, partnering with both Global and Local leaders to help IDEO imagine its future and design and implement products, tools and services to turn ambitious strategy into reality. Working across both teams gives her a unique, informed, holistic approach in designing the programs that best support a community of creative experts and lifelong learners in multiple disciplines. Whether it's a global initiative to view our work through a lens of client centricity, or a local hack to enable better use of technology, Emily designs through moments of tension and growth to push through a difficult "now" to design a better "then".

Prior to joining IDEO, Emily was at the seed-stage venture capital firm, First Round Capital - working closely with the Managing Founding Partner across the portfolio to build and support great technology companies. In the years prior, Emily was a Product and Program Manager at the worlds largest global hedge fund leading the transformation of the its flagship product and research and development operations.

Emily created her own BA at the University of Connecticut, focusing on Behavioral Economics and Neuroscience to try learn how we both shape, and are shaped, by the things we create and experience.  During her college years, she was an active member of the Cross Country, Fencing and Rugby teams.  

When she's not in the office, you can find Emily doing less violent sports, running, being active outdoors, or spoiling her Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle mix, Roger. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, Andy.
