  • About
    With more than a decade of experience leading teams in strategic marketing and planning, design, user experience, and technology, Laura brings an invaluable combination of vision and creativity to Fusebox.

    As a leader and colleague, Laura cultivates a fresh and collaborative environment that fosters unconventional, envelope-pushing ideas and innovative solutions. She challenges every member of her team to envision new approaches to client products and services—and, ultimately, to make their offerings more relevant to consumers. She believes in delivering customer service as a product–which is why the Fusebox team consistently goes above and beyond for their clients and collaborators.

    She has successfully led online brand development, user experience, and design for companies of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500s and Global 1000s. As a result, Laura’s original and inventive projects have garnered industry praise, including several coveted One Show Interactive Pencils and Clio Awards.

    Laura’s broader creative journey reflects her lifelong love of the arts—a passion that fuels her volunteer work promoting arts-based causes. She works with several nonprofit creative organizations as a board member, including MoreArt, a local initiative dedicated to making art more publicly accessible, and Streb, an organization that introduces new cultural paradigms to movement and dance, public performance, and arts activism.

    And since one career is just the beginning for someone as dynamic as Laura, she also funnels her creativity into an original line of jewelry. Her handcrafted pieces can be found at select boutiques in Soho and Montauk.

    Laura lives with her daughter, Kassandra, and dog, Sonna. When she’s not working, you’re likely to find her in Montauk—one of her favorite places on earth—where she’ll be surfing, sourcing vintage treasures, capturing life around her with her ever-present camera, or volunteering her time for community causes close to her heart.
