I enjoy working with communities across creative industries + innovation + impact. 🌀 My career path hasn’t followed a straight line, but these themes have always been part of the journey: social entrepreneurship, creative impact, inclusive innovation, and finding new ways to make an impact. I’ve worked with grassroots projects, creative and social startups, and global organisations. I strongly believe in the transformative power of creativity, entrepreneurship, inclusive practices, and closing the opportunity gap. I’m at my best when I’m building bridges between sectors, communities, and ideas. Passion project: Creative Auslaender on Spotify

I design digital strategies that work—inclusive and built for real people. With over 10 years of experience in web development, SEO, and web analytics, I specialise in MVP design and accessibility, creating scalable, user-focused solutions. As Co-Founder of Dowow.tv, I helped develop an interactive broadcasting platform for Web3, funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme. Our team enhanced video quality in metaverse environments, enabled seamless cross-metaverse interactions, and delivered three large-scale metaverse events with millions of impressions. At gnarles media, I take a different approach to digital strategy. We support businesses from go-to-market planning to building in-house marketing teams, focusing on fast execution and long-term impact. Our work combines growth hacking, community building, and marketing frameworks, always prioritising accessibility, inclusive design, and user experience—not as an add-on, but as the foundation of a future-proof digital strategy. I believe in fairness, clarity, and digital spaces that respect users—not just algorithms.
