Summary
Amber Case is a founder, cyborg anthropologist, and designer who has spent 15 years shaping how people interact with technology and building products used by over 15 million people. As founder of the Calm Tech Institute and leader of Marvelous Labs, she translates research from institutions like MIT Media Lab and Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center into practical standards for quieter, more human-centered tech. Her entrepreneurial track record includes co-founding and exiting Geoloqi, scaling Esri’s developer ecosystem, and leading product teams at organizations from AirBnB to Warner Brothers. Amber combines sociological insight with hands-on product and UX leadership, frequently advising Fortune-level clients on strategy and emerging interfaces such as VR/AR. She’s also an author of several books on calm technology and the social implications of design, bringing an uncommon blend of academic credibility and startup grit. Based in Denver, she quietly bridges research, policy, and product execution to make technology less intrusive and more humane.
