Hey, Lola here.
I'm a product strategist and curator working at the intersection of technology, design, and culture. I studied Cognitive Neuroscience and got my master's in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology from IYA @ USC. Today, I work at Tesla, helping bring products and ideas to life.
Born & raised in New York City. I am Lebanese-Venezuelan and identify quite evenly with both cultures—a magical blend if you ask me.
Today I'm based in Los Angeles. I'm particularly drawn to the intersection of technology, design, culture, and human behavior, and spend most of my time building, writing, and collecting ideas.
