My roots are in events and premium hospitality — where I learned to build relationships and create experiences that bring people together. I carried that into gaming and esports, running tournaments from grassroots community cups to exhibition-scale events, and growing the communities and partnerships that bring them to life.

My work focuses on launching foundational creator programs, negotiating strategic brand partnerships, and leading cross-functional teams to deliver measurable growth. I bridge authentic creator communities with brand strategies that drive long-term impact.

Building

SAVEFILE.LIFE

Independent product · 2026

A private record of your life, kept like a video-game save file — where you’ve been, what you’ve done, who’s been with you, and a printable guide made out of it. Designed around one rule: count what someone has collected, never what they’re missing. Runs entirely in the browser, so none of the data leaves the device. Free to use, and open to partnerships.

Chantal’s Grocery Trip

Independent project · 2026

A browser game that walks you through the grocery markets of the countries I’ve actually visited — real local prices, native-script words, and a passport you fill as you go. Built as a learning game rather than a race.
