I’ve been wanting to build something for a long, long time. And now, I'm opening the doors—just a crack—for a small beta round. While my novel is currently on submission, I’m launching Lanecraft Lab—a boutique strategic services firm that helps high-functioning individuals navigate identity transitions, from career pivots, job stress, and burnout to illness recovery, grief, or the fog of “what’s next.”

I’ve led editorial teams at Institutional Investor and Industry Dive, guided communications strategy for global organizations, steered a public diplomacy initiative for the UK Government, and reported for The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, S&P Global, and others. I majored in Economics with Distinction, and earned postgraduate degrees in media research and business journalism from the London School of Economics and Columbia University, where I was a James W. Robins Reporting Fellow. But the deepest credentials don’t live on paper. Motherhood has reshaped me in ways no degree or job ever could. I've also lived through multiple autoimmune conditions, a complicated chapter with pregnancy, spiritual collapse, the slow grief of invisibility, and the long arc of reinvention. I know what it’s like to lose your voice—and what it takes to rebuild it, word by word, step by step.

Lanecraft Lab is that space. A place for strategy.
