Liz Young is the founder, CEO & Creative Director of StudioLabs, a product design and development studio which focuses on creative technology. StudioLabs has helped create websites, mobile applications, software applications, and other digital products for clients such as Estee Lauder and ESPN, and they’ve partnered with some of the world’s most talented creative teams at agencies like Ogilvy & Mather, and RG/A. Essentially what StudioLabs does is build awesome software and digital products!

Liz is not only an entrepreneur, but a VC investor (predominantly in the SaaS (Software as a Service) industry, board member, RE investor & professor at Pace University.

Liz and her team have had a plethora of accomplishments, one in particular that we found extraordinary

was her design team’s involvement in helping design and build the world’s first-ever live webcast of an international sporting event - the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia.  

When Liz is not out dominating the creative world, you can find her hustling people pool, running the mean streets of Hoboken or out having fun with her amazing wife Jen. Liz and Jen are dog lovers and are often seen walking their rescued dog around town.
