A few engagements worth describing publicly.
2023–2024 · Co-founded
A biannual programme that brings fashion houses and technology builders into the same room to test what the next phase of the internet will ask of both. The 2023 edition ran alongside Milan Fashion Week and was covered by Decrypt.
2022–2025 · Co-founded, Tallinn
A European gathering on emerging technology and culture, held annually in Tallinn. I co-founded it in its first year. It has since become one of the reference events in the field.
2021–2023 · Founded
The first dedicated NFT fund in the world. Raised $2.7M to acquire and hold digital art, and reached an eight-figure exit. The fund was built on a broader thesis than the closed circuit of purchase and resale that most NFT collectors were operating inside at the time.
2020 · Audi, Diptyk Magazine
Brand programming for Audi and Diptyk Magazine at the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair. The work was covered by The New York Times.
2015–2019 · United Nations Industrial Development Organization
A regional programme across eight Mediterranean countries (Austria, France, Slovenia, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco). I designed the visibility strategy across the network and later presented the cluster model as a case study at ENID and the Creative Forum in Ljubljana.
2015–2023 · USAID · IOM · WHO · UNW · OIF · UNITAR
Cultural and communications engagements across the UN family. Early-career work that shaped the diagnostic-first practice I run now.
