Channelise PeopleChannelise is led by a two-woman, Manhattan-based team. We met through our shared social impact ideology, and combined our complementary skills and talents with Channelise. Lorri is the big-picture idea person; she’s the innovative business strategist and designer. A modern and jazz dancer her whole life, she’s also taken up learning Japanese. Laura is the analytical wordsmith, a pitch-perfect writer finding novel ways to present and promote the message. She’s taking her first stab at fiction, with a novella in the works. A creative and collaborative environment, Channelise opportunely invites designers, strategists, technologists, and business thinkers to craft bespoke solutions.
Ten years of international and varied experience inform Lorri Meyers’ holistic philosophy on building future focused, relevant brands. At Finch Brands, she’s created product strategies for Herman Miller, dreamed up wayfinding solutions as a consultant for Telekom Austria, and is currently the acting Director of Development for Greater NYC for Change. Lorri is a culture and travel advocate, having lived among the café culture of Vienna to the sustainable communities of North Rhine-Westphalia, and journeyed amongst the cherry-blossoms of Yoshino to the maté of the Pampas. The breadth of her worldview lends unique expertise in the culturally appropriate integration of global brands, products, services, and experiences. Lorri Meyers holds a Master’s degree of distinction in Design Strategy & Innovation from Brunel University (London).
Laura Grasso With over five years’ experience developing thoughtful and effective communications for private, government, and nonprofit organizations, Laura Grasso creates compelling content with sensitivity to context. Adept in navigating the complex avenues of digital media, Laura helps organizations cater their online presence to improve brand image and access new customer opportunities. Laura’s solid background in project management and communications comes from work in government offices in Washington, DC and New York City. These skills are as useful Channelising with just a few colleagues in a cozy Manhattan office as they were when supporting policy influencers on K Street, Capitol Hill, and in Manhattan’s Financial District. A writer and communications consultant, Laura articulates her message across a variety of media, including blogs, web content, and social networks. A blatant news junkie, Laura loves following witty news aggregators and will always offer an opinion on current events—and how they’re written.
