Since college, I've invested in crypto projects that have gone to the moon, and some that have also crashed. Was it worth it? Absolutely. That's because I could experience a community of people just like me, going through the same experiences. My job is to bring crypto companies what they need to build their own brand and community experience. Outside of that world, I’ve learned and practiced the art of staying behind the camera to write and direct short films, music videos, ads, and all kinds of short-format content. Mixing the rush of growth along with the creative chaos of content creation is only logical to me because the world needs narratives to move forward, crypto or not.
