★ who i am

01 / bio

it started on facebook in 2007. still scrolling today.

since day one, i've been convinced that social is where culture happens. it's where people connect, share, laugh, argue and discover things.

along the way, i went from replying to comments to leading creative teams and building brands. but what drives me hasn't really changed: making things people actually want to stop scrolling for.

because the best brands don't just show up in culture. they become part of it.
