Lauren Ducrey

Lauren Ducrey is an award-winning poet, speaker, AI designer (ex-Google), mindfulness facilitator and string cheese enthusiast. When she's not designing more humane tech, she's on a mission to break poetry out of its ivory tower as an accessible tool for us to (re)connect with ourselves, others and the world.

She grew up thinking poetry was unapproachable. Then life cracked her open (a breakup more specifically), poetry slipped in and she experienced firsthand how "language is the greatest tool for meaningful connection, and having access to the right words changes everything." (Brene Brown)
