Desirae Gladden
Creative Planning Manager

Although Desirae would be nothing without espresso shots and excel sheets, she finds passion in organizing for experience and cause. After being diagnosed with Stargardts Macular Degeneration in 2003, she learned that one of her greatest assists as a legally blind individual was not her ability to mistake lamp posts for people, but to approach social issues from new perspectives and provoke constructive dialogue surrounding change. Desirae received her Bachelor of Arts in Arts Management from Columbia College Chicago and served as a Site Coordinator for Columbia's annual Manifest Urban Arts Festival in May of 2017. In her down time, she can be found watering her plants or painting her next masterpiece. See more at DesiraeGladden.com.
