Hello!
I'm a digital media pioneer with 20+ years of expertise leading global teams in entertainment and technology. I'm ever-driven to create vibrant, purposeful experiences that enliven people and help businesses flourish.
My story goes a little something like this…
Roots & Future
My love of innovation was established as a radio/club DJ, fostering community at the epicenter of San Francisco’s underground dance music movement going worldwide. I expanded into producing an array of music & marketing experiences for film & TV projects in Hollywood, then transitioned into tech by leading global programming for Xbox Music & Video at Microsoft. Drawn to its remarkable culture, the art & science of building human-centered software became my jam as a product manager with Seattle studio Substantial.
Across these chapters of my professional life, I’ve explored the power of embodiment and the potential of human evolution. I produced Landmark Education’s trailblazing Communications courses with their Team Management and Leadership Program, became a certified yoga teacher, and trained with Tantra practitioners. In 2021, I’ve continued my studies in somatic abolitionism and indigenous wisdom. My ongoing collaborations with the dance music community as DJ GriffinGrrl continue to enrich my creative heart.
With my new consultancy Emily Griffin & Co, I offer creative leadership, bringing operational excellence and culture design to teams who want to re-energize their work and deepen their bonds so they can innovate with a renewed sense of purpose.
