Baldwin launched Lugu during the Covid-19 pandemic. She built the app, which helps users create and share their life story, after seeing that there was no simple way for her grandmother to capture her legacy in the digital age. She remains a board member.
Prior to Lugu, Baldwin was Vice President of Development at Paramount Television where she oversaw series including 13 Reasons Why from Brian Yorkey, The Alienist from Hossein Amini, Maniac from Cary Fukunaga and Patrick Somerville, Fake Empire’s Looking For Alaska, and Somerville’s Made for Love. She was one of the first hires at the inception of the Television Studio in 2013 and remained for more than six years.

I am humbled to be part of such a talented group who value authentic storytelling and innovative thinking.”
