Ara Tucker
Author, Storyteller, Creative Executive
Exploring how creativity shapes who we are — and what we build.
About me (the short version)
I’m a storyteller, author, and creative leader.
My creative roots are in visual storytelling — I studied Art History and Visual Arts at Princeton University, where I deepened my documentary and photography practice. That foundation continues to shape my work today, whether I’m writing novels, advising executives, or exploring identity through narrative.
Through Stories Work and I’m Here Too, I connect the threads of art, leadership, and belonging — helping people see how story connects who we are to what we build.
