I’m an innovator who creates experiences that inspire action by merging cutting-edge technology with creativity and purpose. I help brands and organization connect with their audiences, amplify their impact, and build sustainable, engaged communities. As the pioneer of "digital swag," I’ve transformed how brands use AR effects on social media to turn followers into brand ambassadors. My work is guided by "Theory of Funds"— Fun + Dabblers = Funds. By making engagement fun and accessible, I help brands turn casual audiences into loyal supporters and advocates. My passion for social causes drives everything I do, from organizing the world’s first metaverse march for women’s rights to helping Global Strays raise $100K in just five days. Recognized as a Forbes Next 1000 honoree, I’ve also produced award-winning short films featured at the Seattle International Fashion Film Festival. Whether it’s amplifying a brand’s reach, empowering communities, or bridging the worlds of tech, fashion, and sustainability, I’m here to make bold ideas come to life. Let’s make something extraordinary together!
