I'm a creative founder who built a VR art district while patenting a 2D to 4D conversion process, pioneered a boutique vertical Bay Area salon night in which I developed my methodology, started the first VC-funded media publication in Silicon Valley with a focus on diversity of ideas, and created a festival to counter the TED conference called INSTED which was a TED for the people. My strategic foresight has been pivotal in setting trends within volatile markets, influencing the trajectory of the art and tech sectors by tapping into emerging demographics during their infancy and accelerating their growth.
