Victoria helps people find their people.

Victoria's work is focused on connecting ideas, people, and communities in new, generative ways. She believes in a world where everyone has access to robust support systems, exciting communities, and a sense of belonging. She's the founder of hito labs, a studio exploring the potential of networks, communities, and ecosystems when it comes to the future of product, culture, talent, and innovation. Combining systems thinking and community strategy, she has worked with clients such as IKEA, EY, Jaguar Land Rover, EDF, Adidas and more.
