- Why did you join goop?
I love the idea of being part of something both thoughtful and beautiful, and something so gutsily unafraid in so many ways. I love the goop clean-beauty position and I hope to be part of the change—gorgeous beauty products should not have to be toxic! (Insane and vaguely misogynist that they still are, I think.)
- goop shop obsession?
The Milena crewneck fisherman sweater from Demylee, the long print dress and the rosebud-print elbow-sleeve dress by Timo x goop, and though I’m not a jacket person, when I wore the Stella McCartney black one in this picture, I was beyond-sold.
- First job?
I worked for my biologist dad catching butterflies in the Rocky Mountains.
- Mentor?
Mentor: Amy Gross, Roger Yee, Kim France, and Gina Sanders.
- Hometown?
Hometown: Palo Alto
- Wouldn't leave home without?
Drunk Elephant sunblock and my phone.
- Thing you buy in bulk?
Buying a stack of white t-shirts all at once is to drown (happily) in luxury. I also buy an inordinate amount of the large-size bags of Just Strawberries, the freeze dried organic strawberry slices. They make any breakfast-item (scones, oatmeal, etc.) better and you can eat them like chips.
- Favorite book?
White Girls by Hilton Als, Play It As It Lays and all things by Joan Dideon, and I cannot get enough of the various My Struggle(s) by Karl Ove Knaussgard.

Lost in Translation.

X’ian Famous Foods in NYC.

Vineet Bahl.
- Preferred form of exercise?
Jivamukti yoga and running outside.
- Drink of choice?
Ginanjuice at Suzume in Brooklyn—it tastes super-healthy (fresh carrot, beet, apple, ginger) and the gin + lillet stealthily knocks you off your feet.
- Favorite model?
Charlotte Rampling in the Marc Jacobs ads, & KATE.
- Proudest moment?
When my kids are gossiping/playing for hours and forget I’m there.
