Successfully launched and managed multiple t-shirt pages, developed an original card game concept, and founded a collaborative community that brought together diverse contributors to create and publish an ebook.

Currently leading and scaling PixelByte — a pixel-themed social media platform built for creatives, gamers, and everyone in between — with a strong focus on product direction, community, and brand growth.
