About
I'm a creative director and marketer with over 15 years of experience in the advertising and tech industries. I've led social strategy and creative direction for the world's best brands.
As a teenager, I discovered my passion for design through online forums and, later, blogs and social networks. I am now excited to explore the opportunities of web3 and the democratisation of internet and finance. In short, I’ve been busy doing what I love – embracing the new while combining creativity, culture and tech.
