What I'm looking for
As a designer, I love problem solving, looking at what is lacking in a company, and the way they communicate and improve upon that. I value myself as a self-starter and a great collaborator. I’ve been working with companies in the Saas, B2B, and fintech industries for the past several years, most recently Kintsu, as liquid staking protocol in the Monad ecosystem. As part of their marketing team I helped them grow their social media reach from 20k at the start of February of 2024 to over 140k followers in September of 2026, this reach helped them convert those interactions into revenue, with over 2.5 M usd in TVL.
