Throughout time, I‘ve been a website designer writing code in plain text, a CSS lover fixing browser bugs with awkward hacks, a UX designer trying to convince stakeholders of the importance of customer research, a product designer changing CEOs’ minds to build outcomes instead of features, and a mission-driven startup founder trying to redefine social media by redefining its business model.

But then, one morning, I questioned my entire work foundation. Do I need to keep climbing the career ladder? How can I rearrange my work to fully align with my life aspirations? The answer to the first question was a resounding no and an immediate sense of calm. The answer to the second question is reflected in the work I do nowadays at Ensage.

I decided to stop walking a thin line between maximum productivity and potential burnout. So instead, I took a different approach.

Further down, we enter into my artistic years, where I found earnest expression in playing the piano and composing medieval/renaissance madrigals. Oh, not to forget my weird obsession as a child for building paper cities.

So, how did life bring me from philosophy and arts to technology and startups? Still a mystery to me. But I‘d like to think there is an invisible thread leading me to acquire diverse skills and use technology as a tool to help humanity bring back to itself.

If the Metaverse will use tech to create an illusion within an illusion, I‘ll use tech to show people where is the real playground. Therefore…
