Liz Young is the founder, CEO & Creative Director of StudioLabs, a product design and development studio which focuses on creative technology. StudioLabs has helped create websites, mobile applications, software applications, and other digital products for clients such as Estee Lauder and ESPN, and they’ve partnered with some of the world’s most talented creative teams at agencies like Ogilvy & Mather, and RG/A. Essentially what StudioLabs does is build awesome software and digital products!
Liz is not only an entrepreneur, but a VC investor (predominantly in the SaaS (Software as a Service) industry, board member, RE investor & professor at Pace University.
Liz and her team have had a plethora of accomplishments, one in particular that we found extraordinary
was her design team’s involvement in helping design and build the world’s first-ever live webcast of an international sporting event - the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
