I also created original in-house content, designing fun digital stickers and filter packs, and mini-games. I have been a member of SuperAwesome’s first BeYou group for 3 years - a voluntary initiative started to drive forward SuperAwesome’s diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. This is something I am incredibly passionate about and I am very proud of our achievements so far, such as Safe Spaces and SAPride community.
