Laura Nash is a design generalist by nature and by training, driven by curiosity to spot the fundamentals that transfer across contexts. Her brain naturally starts with language and structure, so she feels right at home at IAC. She’s a proud 18F alumna who’s worked in startups, federal agencies, consultancies, and mission-driven orgs. Laura is a magpie for good ideas, especially when they come from outside the digital sphere. She’s applied tools and frameworks from game design, theater, puzzles, and Nordic LARP to simplify and communicate complexity (yes, even when she worked for the federal government). Outside of work, she’s co-hosted The Short Game podcast for ten years, and would love to be your video game concierge if you see her in the hallway.
