- Gina Pensiero is a writer, as well as a creative and editorial consultant. She has in-house (Audible.com), agency (HUGE, PanCom), blog (One Sweet Song, NYT, Nerve) and start-up (OpenSky) experience writing editorial content, marketing copy and UX copy.Gina grew up in an AP Style home and thus holds controversial views regarding the Oxford comma. These views are expressed in abundance on this site, specifically here, here and right here.She was mostly raised in New Jersey, having also been raised a tiny little bit in New York City. She now resides in the Greater Los Angeles area somewhat against her will, since her heart continues to reside in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and she secretly hopes to someday reside in San Francisco, where other people have left their hearts on unspecified hills.In addition to writing all kinds of things and playing the guitar in a mediocre fashion, from 2008 until 2010, she curated a series of fantastic events at her Brooklyn apartment, The 50/50.When did “curated” become such a thing? Is it totally over yet? Gina Pensiero thinks it may well be over now. She apologizes.
