Chaya is a Brooklyn-based creative advisor who has had the luxury of working alongside photo editors, reporters, graphic designers, web designers, photographers, directors, producers, stylists, art directors, retouchers, and illustrators — assisting agencies, startups, publications, individual creatives, and production crews in the process.
Currently, she is the Content Manager at NeueHouse, and the Director of Marginalized in Mind – where she consults for Wonderful Machine, Friends of Commodore Barry Park, Snap Collective and more.
Prior to these opportunities, she has worked with The Wall Street Journal, Trunk Archive, Dippin’ Sauce, Framebridge, COMPLEX, WorkOf, CKS Creative Management, Push for Pizza, EPIX & Free Juice (as a founding board member).
She enjoys furniture design, collecting art, mindlessly scrolling on TikTok, and frequenting New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, and London.
