K currently leads the marketing strategy for several new products within Nationwide’s innovation portfolio, and previously led the marketing strategy for a biotech startup called Forge Biologics, the LGBTQ+ health system Equitas Health, and a community leadership nonprofit called Leadership Columbus.
Alongside eco-couture designer Celeste Malvar-Stewart, K also works to progress the growth of Olly Awake, which rejects the oppressive gender binary and intentionally designs apparel to be gender equal, high-quality, and produced ethically in the USA using sustainable textiles.
K lives downtown in Columbus with a plant they are desperately trying to keep alive and is an avid lover of art and design, film (especially sci-fi, drama, art-house) … and a good Manhattan.
