The beauty of The Catalyst isn’t just in the breadth of our esteemed guests, but in the depth of our conversations. We at The Catalyst are of the school of thought that chiefly believes “conversations build connections.”
In times like ours, we at The Catalyst deeply believe that the world needs more and more connection. More and more people sharing their stories. More and more community. So, we decided to create a community of our own. Welcome to The Catalyst: a community of Changemakers, spearheaded by Harvard College graduate Audrey Dilgarde.

An architect by trade and an artist by birthright, Oana Stănescu is a multi-hyphenate whose work inspires musings of community and play. Raised in Romania amidst the revolution that ousted Nicolae Ceausescu, Oana grew up understanding a fundamental truth: worlds can, and do, change—often when you least expect. This reality taught her to create her own world. Utilizing architecture as her domain, Oana has created several worlds, often bridging the gap between a discipline known for its permanence with several others. This ability to work across cross-disciplinary lines has lead to iconic projects. Notably, the 50-foot stage-prop volcano that eclipsed Kanye West during his Yeezus tour (https://youtu.be/iSAK8KHhD6w). In our own conversation, Oana and I spoke of pushing the boundaries of what one can do. Principally we focused on doing so through one's own work. What struck me most is when she noted that "it’s a privilege to take subjects of interests, things that are on your mind, and just pursue them." In the context of work, this remains the supreme dream, and what I loved most about this interview is that Oana reminded us that this dream remains a possibility: it's very much possible to create your own world—to take subjects of interests and just pursue them.
