Margaret Rose Taormina

Creative Strategist

I’m a multi-passionate creative with a strategic flair, based in New York, on a mission to foster belonging, make the seemingly inaccessible approachable, and ignite creativity.

With over 10 years of experience as a product designer turned product manager in tech, paired with a lifetime as a performance artist, my specialty lies in strategic storytelling. I believe in the power of narrative to connect people, inspire action, and drive results.

Throughout my career, I’ve created a home for creators on LinkedIn, designed editorial and advertising tools that fueled free journalism and democratized conversation at Gawker Media, written code that powered Tesla cars, built a digital presence for the NYC Public Advocates Office, and co-founded a cotton candy pop-up shop. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to shape experiences and tell compelling stories that resonate with diverse audiences.

Outside of tech, I moonlight as a performance artist, using a variety of mediums—vocalist, actor, dancer, aerialist, and short film creator. I bring this creative energy and storytelling expertise into every product challenge I take on, helping brands connect with the right audiences and create experiences that feel truly magical.
