About

I’m a designer, researcher, innovator, developer, mentor, coach, and mother—all rolled into one. I’m also dyslexic and neurodivergent. Some see that as a limitation, I see it as an advantage. This lets me process ideas, patterns, and people differently and spot connections others might miss. I’ve spent 25 years in tech, long enough to see how creative work and the people behind it are undervalued. During COVID, the cracks in the system became impossible to ignore. That was my turning point. Designers were asked for free work, ghosted after reviews, and spread thin across platforms that didn’t serve them. Now I’m focused on building systems that are ethical, transparent, and respectful of the people who use them. I believe technology should serve creativity, not exploit it.

What are your good takeaways and useful tips when raising money?

I have come across several statements such as: a single person cannot raise money on their own (you need to be in a team of at least 2 people), it is not worth it because there is pressure on you, etc.

  • What is your experience with raising money?

  • What did it give you, and who did you raise it from?

  • What do you think helped you to a large extent to get the raise?
