Tinkering on Weblfow & Vercel.
About
Accelerating founders by day, photographing the world by night.
I’ve spent roughly the last decade in and around startups—first at a once high-flying mealkit startup, next at a small, but mighty, venture firm, and now at a globally ambitious one.
I’ve lived and worked all over — Boston, Maine, Spain, London, and New York.
Work Experience
Projects
I run a photography business on the side and upon request sell large-format fine art prints of my work. This is a smattering of some of my favorite and most popular works.
Side Projects
I'm a voracious consumer and beta tester of early-stage iOS & web apps. I love supporting indie developers and designers as they put their work into the world and I keep an active archive of the new apps I'm trying and which ones make the cut to reach my homescreen or daily usage.
Built a personal, digital inventory of the goods I own across a variety of categories. Why? To assess my material items in sum and also to provide a digital space for curated sharing with others. Future upgrades might include wardrobe kit creator, wishlists, and more. Inspired heavily by goods.wtf by Siddharth Arun.
Speaking
Topics covered: 1) How to optimize your brand as a venture or PE firm, 2) how to pull off a successful rebrand, 3) how to get stakeholders on board, 4), budget & timeline expectations, 5) best practices for tools and templates to utilize.
Topics covered: 1) masterclass on determining AGM marketing objectives, 2) balancing passive and interactive programming, and 3) debating the merits and drawbacks of hybrid and virtual formats.
Writing
Wrote for one hundred days straight and posted nearly all of the posts on my Medium page. Wonderful exercise that created more serendipitous exchanges and outcomes than I ever could've imagined.
Features
Joined the Off the Clock guys to explore the power of the consumer and how platforms are enabling additional forms of customer engagement. We dove into how brands can and should use experiential techniques to reach consumers on a more emotive level.
The lovely ladies of The Breakfast app were kind enough to feature me in their eclectic series exploring a bit more about the creative inspirations and idiosyncrasies of people in and around their app.
Ryan was kind enough to feature me on his delightful archive of unique workspaces of modern workers across creative fields, entrepreneurship, and more. Although I look back at this setup now and cringe (my new one is much less... light-chaotic), it's fun to take a snapshot of how and what I prioritized for my setup back then.
Volunteering
Cooked meals with as much care and comfort as possible for the local homeless residents.
