Update: Skipti Powered by OV Loop: ⚡ I am beyond excited to announce that Skipti was purchased by OV Loop, Inc. OV Loop's brand and values align well with ours. Using Skipti’s innovative technology, businesses easily adopted circular practices, diversified their revenue streams, and found new ways to interact with customers. With this partnership, we will now power-up our circular processes such as resale, rental, try-and-buy, and subscriptions with the innovation and resources that OV Loop is known for. Every step brings us closer to a world that values experience over possession, repair over replacement, and quality over quantity while reducing production for obsolescence. OV sees this vision and the value in our SaaS platform, which automates the sustainable commerce experience for retailers and brands.-- I am a creative development executive with 20+ years of product development, management, and design experience for creative consumer brands and services. I was formally trained at Parsons School of Design and Pentagram Design New York. My first love was Tangerine, a small design agency in New York City, where I served as Partner & Creative Director for almost 18 years prior to exit. There, I specialized in global projects maintaining both current brand integrity and realizing brands for startups and business development. My teams are responsible for design initiatives for notable clients including Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Rice University, the Whitney Museum, Cara Franco, Time Out New York, Martha Stewart Crafts, the City of New York, The City of Albuquerque, Choice Hotels, and Augsten Regensburg. My current operations role at Skipti balances employee, customer, and organizational requirements, and ensures that business operations are efficient and effective. Day-to-day, my direct focus is to ensure that the resources we have and the services we provide to the customer are managed to both maximize the value of the company and to build honest brand equity around the Skipti brand. On a larger scale, I build programs to expand our brand and operations from our flagship in Boston to multiple cities across the US. ​​A frequent speaker and design judge, I travel to meet with up-and-coming design students at Art Centers across the country. My work has been published in design books such as Brand Necessity, Sign Gallery, and Grid Use, and featured in re:D (Regarding Design). ​Education:BFA in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design in New York CityCum Laude​Contact: lp@lynnplatow.com646/450-8635
