ALANA JULIA CORBETT

I’m an experiential strategist with a mission to innovate on how we gather, and design experiences that cultivate inspiration, ideation and action. I specialize in creative strategy, cultural partnerships and program design.

I’d be best described as an operationally-minded creative: a right-brained dreamer who can materialize ideas and strategize a system to execute. I've worked across the art, design, technology and social impact sectors for 15 years and counting. I believe that building a foundation of the “why” is the starting point to any project.

I've been honored to work with the world's leading brands and institutions - including Apple, Google, YPO, Airbnb, The Aspen Institute, and Patreon - to build transformative experiences that foster creative thinking, ideation and action.
