Dina Giordano’s path as a Creative Consultant and Strategic Advisor was predestined from growing up in Jersey helping in her family’s businesses to assisting in global enterprises. 

At a young age, she took monthly pilgrimages into Manhattan. The urban environment was a host for her curiosity in cross-disciplinary learning, understanding of high art, and value exchange. Curious and driven to find her independence, Dina followed her natural inclination toward aesthetics and design. She worked to pursue her curiosity in the arts and entered into early college enrollment for fashion business and marketing courses. After pursuing a degree in Fashion Marketing, she was looking for a greater connection to the larger context. Dina turned her focus to architecture and relocated to California to attend SCI-Arc. In the discipline of architecture, she found a process of thinking and exploration that nurtured her curiosity about how things function and the complex interconnectedness of systems, creativity, and pragmatism.

From here, Dina put together a self-guided MBA of sorts, undertaking various roles in the creative industry. These roles were mostly in leadership, management, marketing, and business development. From here, Dina started her own marketing company and then a pop-up art gallery. Her career organically expanded to consulting and advising professional artists, designers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and scale-ups.  

As a consultant, Dina has carefully studied and tested the knowledge and experience she gained to develop an application for approaching business that utilizes her Architecture education and practice, “Architectural Thinking.” This process allows Dina and her clients to draw out the most relevant, consistent, and progressive approaches to each project and company she works with.

Dina has used this approach while developing projects for; Coachella, PS1. MOMA, Macy’s, Frieze Art Fair, Fashion Week, as well as developing businesses for entrepreneurs across industries. 

Her work is driven by a vision for creating a bigger impact through the methodology of “Architectural Thinking”™. Dina is developing initiatives that tackle dynamic growth through innovation, discussion, leadership, and economic impact.
