Grab your coffee and join us Friday mornings on Instagram Live for the series of fun and fascinating discussions. Each week, our Artist-in-Residence Jeanette Andrews will be in conversation with different experts in various fields, including neuroscience, art, design, and nature. They'll chat about how magic intersects with their specific industry, and we look forward to having you join us for this interactive series! This week, we're talking magic and design with Henna Wang & Michael Reynolds, co-founders of the Gesso app.

Henna Wang is an art historian and sociologist who is deeply interested in human creativity and connection. Henna’s background is in the arts and international development, and she has worked with organizations from the Met, the Smithsonian, Sotheby’s, Phillips, and the Aspen Institute. For Gesso, she leads on partnerships and design.

Michael Reynolds is an experienced product manager who has worked for ventured back startups and Fortune 100 clients. For Gesso, he leads on product, content and operations. 

Named after the priming layer of paint that must first be applied to a canvas before crafting a masterpiece, Gesso makes audio-first, geo-responsive digital guides that go under the surface of a city. Gesso presents the world’s hidden gems through exclusive original content, a curated selection of podcasts, and official audio tours through the storied cultural institutions and forgotten corners of the world’s most famous cities.
