Rebecca works as the Director of Product at The GIANT Room, a co-design lab built with kids, for kids. She leads the creative direction of GIANT products, including storybooks, chapter books, lookbooks, journals, trading cards, games, stationery, and more. All of GIANT’s products are co-designed with kids, featuring their ideas, projects, and unique imaginations. She also leads GIANT Creative Bootcamp, an online program where kids’ projects get mixed and remixed into print publications co-designed with generative AI tools and the GIANT team. Throughout her time working at The GIANT Room, Rebecca has written hundreds of STEAM (STEM+Arts) workshop curriculums and has created over 550 educational videos about a range of STEAM topics and experts in the field.

In 2020, Rebecca co-founded Art Beyond the Ink (ABI), an arts education organization which supports students and early-career artists through musical storytelling and interdisciplinary collaboration. With co-founder and co-director Emmalie Tello, ABI produces and writes short films inspired by instrumental music, which have been screened at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music and internationally in Canberra, Australia. Designed for children in grades K-5, Art Beyond the Ink’s workbook, Hearing and Seeing Musical Stories: The Story-Filled Tool for Understanding What You Hear teaches music theory and musical storytelling through short stories, arts activities, games, and movement exercises and has been used by over 300 students across NYC. A second workbook in the series, Our Neighborhood of Musical Genres: The Story-Filled Teaching Tool for Music All Around the World, will come out in 2024.

Prior to Art Beyond the Ink, Rebecca founded and directed MUSES: Music for Extraordinary Students, a program that taught music to children in foster care and prevention services in the South Bronx. MUSES was presented at the 2019 Collaboratory Centennial Symposium, which showcased exemplary community-engaged projects and celebrated interdisciplinary partnerships. Both MUSES and Art Beyond the Ink were recipients of the Alsop Entrepreneurship Award at The New School.

Rebecca holds a Bachelor’s of Music in Flute Performance and a Master’s of Arts in Arts Management and Entrepreneurship from the College of Performing Arts at The New School. With her husband, Basti, and dog, Bjorn, she lives in Santiago, Chile, where you can find her badly belting out Broadway tunes, reading novels by Mark Z. Danielewski, obsessing over interior design, and making, making, making.
