Hi! I am Henna Wang, an art historian and sociologist deeply interested in human creativity and connection. My work across the arts and international development sectors have prepped me for my most important role yet: as Co-founder and Co-CEO of Gesso. Gesso is a primer for the world's most fascinating places. Our mobile platform offers location-based audio experiences, including linear and non-linear audio walks. What initially started as a museum mobile guide solution has expanded into something that stretches far beyond museum walls. Our mission is to democratize storytelling through diverse and engaging perspectives.
