Be The Spark
Live With Heart Turn It Into Art
I am passionate about using storytelling, play, and creativity to inspire, spark positive change, and build a more joyful, loving world.
Piera Gelardi is a renowned creative director, entrepreneur, and speaker on a mission to bring out the creativity in everyone and get adults to play more.
She co-founded the influential women’s media brand Refinery29 and its experiential property 29Rooms.
She speaks and facilitates workshops at corporations and conferences about creativity, courage, and play, making magic on stage at places like SxSW and INBOUND.
Piera is on the precipice of launching a first-of-its-kind creative fitness club making the practice of creativity fun, social, and accessible to people of all levels.
Outside of work, she loves hosting doodling nights at her house, performing in storytelling shows, and making up songs with her 4 year old.
“Her energy, attention and total desire to live everything well and full is the thing that makes her so admirable and amazing. This version of success is incredibly fun. ”
