Holly Gressley is a design leader based in New York City with over 20 years of experience working across a wide range of industry sectors and design disciplines. I partner with technology companies, non-profits, and mission-driven startups on product design, research & strategy, and design systems. Current clients include a reproductive justice non-profit and a major music streaming company.
In my last full-time role, I led research-intensive product design work on complex production, finance, and planning tools for Netflix’s film and television studios in Los Angeles and throughout the world. In the 2010s, I led design teams at Vox Media and Quora, and consulted with clients that include Adobe, Airbnb, Apple, Dwell, IDEO, and Intuit. In the 2000s, I ran a multidisciplinary design studio in Brooklyn called Rumors, and worked with publishers including NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast, and others on web publishing and editorial design. In my spare time, I enjoy slow travel, learning about urbanism, art, designing books and textile-based work.
