Ava Giaquinto

Project Manager

Ava explored her passions for design, writing, and philosophy in school. She found a home for these varied passions in project management. She discovered a knack for fitting tricky details together seamlessly into a bigger picture that tells a story and brings people together. She’s continuing to pursue these details at IOP.

When Ava isn’t working, she is likely putting the same ten songs on playlists with overly long titles that she’ll listen to while “hiking”. A proud self-proclaimed gorpcore (Google it!) poser, Ava’s preferred trails are those that are mostly flat and well marked (read: city sidewalks).

Hailing from Portland, Maine, Ava has a BA from Villanova University in Communications. She is new to New York City and living in Brooklyn.

There's no better view than the city skyline at sunset.
