Christene Barberich is a NYTimes best-selling author, founder, and advisor devoted to discovering + building + sharing brands that delight and endure. She spent 15 years as a co-founder + Global EIC of the award-winning media company Refinery29—conceiving and building it from a startup newsletter into a global entertainment leader that helped pioneer a new age of women’s digital content. In 2019, R29 was acquired by Vice Media Group.
In 2022, Christene launched A Tiny Apt., a weekly newsletter on Substack that invites readers to think about space, personal style, and the circular economy differently—with more intention, curiosity, and wonder.
She lives in Brooklyn with her family, where she writes, thrifts, and occasionally hosts an epic sidewalk sale.
