As an internationally recognized expert on brands and cultural change, her clients have included Prada, Supreme, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MTV and many others across luxury and technology. Currently, she is a founding partner of Nemesis, a strategic consulting firm and creative studio based in LA, NY and Berlin, called “an ‘alternative’ consultancy” by the New Yorker. She also runs Deluge Books, an experimental literary press, with collaborators in New York and Los Angeles.
Previously she co-founded the trend forecasting group K-HOLE, the collective best known for coining the term normcore. K-HOLE's free PDF trend reports on the nature of millennial change were downloaded half a million times and their work has been presented at galleries and museums internationally, including the Serpentine Gallery and MoMA PS1. Vogue called them “pop culture’s favorite trend forecasters.”
