Whitney Geller is a strategic designer and co-founder of Jems, a non-toxic condom company created to challenge the outdated and exclusive nature of the condom industry. Whitney is also a partner and co-founder at Whitman Emorson, a Toronto-based design consultancy that has worked with global clients such as MTV, Coca-Cola, and Oprah Winfrey, and has launched successful startups such as B Yoga, Knix, and Ensembl. Whitney and Yasemin, her Jems co-founder, noticed a lack of clean, transparent ingredients and gender-inclusive language in the condom industry, and were inspired to create a safer sex brand that spoke to a multiplicity of sexual and gender identities. Jems has been featured in various publications, including Seventeen Magazine, Elle Magazine, and Vice. Whitney is passionate about working with mission-driven companies to accelerate their impact through design, and has worked with organizations such as Choice in Health Clinic, Newark Educators’ Community Charter School, and Sea Change. In 2022, Whitney was selected as winner of The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch for her work at Jems.
