About This Episode

Kristen Carbone discusses her bold journey as a female founder in tech that transitioned from a career in the arts to developing her own product and founding Brilliantly, a platform dedicated to meeting the long term, quality of life issues faced by women who’ve had an experience with breast cancer. Along the way, she has used her background in the arts to foster creative problem solving and a willingness to be open to constructive critique and collaboration. She shares the art of feedback as well as the importance as a creator to be open to the possibilities, not being too focused on your initial goal that you miss the other opportunities that present themselves. Tune in to hear how you can take a passion, build your own company, and continue to grow organically in a way that is authentic to you. 

 

About Kristen Carbone

After a decade long career working in curatorial departments in Museums across New York and New England I founded Brilliantly. Brilliantly started with trying to solve a problem for myself and after talking to hundreds of women in the breast cancer community over the summer of 2017 and finding out that I wasn’t alone in my struggles post-mastectomy, I was compelled to leave my career and start my own business. What started as a product designed to support breast cancer survivors feeling more comfortable in their body has become a leading innovation in the world of wearable technology for women.
