Before:
I used to head creative and marketing for a tech-marketing start up in Soho. We're a half agency half AI-powered platform for influencer marketing. We use our technology to identify the best-fit influencers for each brand then work with both parties to create stunning campaigns.

As long as I spend my waking hours either creating, dreaming up ideas and strategies, deepening my relationship with others or capturing my experience in words, then I'm fulfilled.
