Head of Commercial Projects

Okay, this is going to sound confusing but stick with me. I'm Courtney. I started my career at PR and marketing agencies in New York, focusing on initiatives for consumer brands such as Netflix, Chobani, and Procter & Gamble.

Like many women, I took a professional pause to start a family and never really felt like returning to the “corporate world” made sense for me. The fun and functional play space I created for my children had such a positive impact on them. It inspired me to want to bring that joy and purpose to other families’ homes.

As Head of Commercial Projects, I oversee the development of incredible play environments beyond design and truly impact the lives of children and families everywhere, including schools, hotels, condos (shared amenities), play cafes, non-profits (JCCs, YMCAs), and more.

When I’m not at work, you can find me riding my bike to the beach or taking a memorable weekend morning trip for donuts (and the occasional weekday trip may occur, too). I look forward to working with you!
