Founder and CEO of BetterShared the leading global art marketplace for some of today’s most exciting emerging artists from Africa and the diaspora. Frustrated by the lack of diversity in the art world, I launched BetterShared in 2016, enabling up and coming artists from the African diaspora to showcase and sell their work at scale. Today BetterShared is home to more than 200 talented artists, from 14 countries worldwide.
Praised for my innovation and contribution to the UK's fast-growing startup scene I’ve been named in TechRound’s #BAME50Under50 and described as a ‘leader with a social heart’ by the Dots. One of my biggest passions is helping emerging artists market and monetise their creativity and I’m on a mission to make art more accessible for everyone.
Before founding BetterShared I spent more than a decade in the creative industry as digital designer. Today you’ll find me sharing my expertise at speaking events and through my business, workshops and online training I’ve helped dozens of artists reach a global audience and monetise their creativity.
