hello! i started this newsletter in 2022. back then, i had a typical corporate nyc job - that i thought was my dream job (spoiler alert, it wasn’t) - craving a creative outlet.

here is a tldr recap of what has happened since then: i quit my job and left new york. now i am based in the bay area working on my own startup. i also overcame my fear of creating content and have a youtube channel where i upload videos on a weekly basis.

over here, i will try to post as often as i can, but it might be a little challenging given the nature of my job and my many many side quests. but writing was the first reason i got into videos and my startup, and so i wish to continue!

you can expect posts that are a little brainy and vulnerable, and some fun stuff sprinkled in between. so subscribe and i promise i will make it worth your while!
