At 27, with three businesses and no fixed home, my journey has been anything but conventional. Raised in a hippie commune by a single mother who gave everything for me, I started off shy and overlooked. After a near-death illness at 17, I found my way into design, SEO, and eventually entrepreneurship—dropping out of both college and a marketing degree to pursue real learning. From freelancing to building a six-figure business at 21, selling a podcast with 300K monthly listeners, and growing multiple companies, I’ve helped unicorns scale, built a SaaS user base of 130K, and given my mum financial freedom. Now, I’m continuing to level up, explore, and create alongside brilliant people.
