We are looking for Gamers 🎮,  Product Designers, UX Designers, Software Engineers, Digital Marketers, Product Mangers, React Engineers, Steramers, Cosplayers, Fortniters, and many more. No calls, no sales. I will drop you a link to the apps.

Spontaneous photoshoot in the Belfast Botanical Gardens. The atmosphere was stellar. And because it wasn’t a planned shoot we just had fun and tried to make the most of it because we didn’t have any expectations to hold us back. Really pleased with the outcome. I always try to bring my camera with me wherever I go, in case creativity strikes.

Colour. It's vital. In the natural world, we use it to recognise food sources, water, and potential danger.
But what about colour usage across our digital systems? Can one colour be better for the environment than another?
I decided to look into it. Here are my findings so far.

Looking for feedback on Woody3, a new job board for non tech roles in Web3

Hi polyworkers! 👋 I would love your feedback on a site I recently launched: Woody3.xyz. After 6+ months of recruiting for a crypto gaming project, hiring non-techs was the hardest.  We lacked talent pools to target the best PMs, Community Leads, Designers, and Marketers with an interest in Web3. So I decided to build my own solution and shipped Woody3, to help you find your dream non-tech job in Web3. I’m currently working on increasing traffic, fine-tuning the site, and collaborating with web3 teams. I would love to improve with your feedback. • If you are a non-tech looking for (or curious about) a job in Web3. What do you think about woody? what would you improve? what don’t you like? what do you like? • If you are a web3 recruiter or founder, would you post a job on the site? what would you improve? what don’t you like? what do you like? Feel free to share it via DM.  Thanks for your time! 🙏

Chat with a web developer

I am looking for a software developer to discuss the creation of a website/app. I'm in the early stages of developing my business plan for a new disability-related business platform. At this point, I'm primarily looking to learn more about the process and costs associated. This could potentially lead to a contract position down the road.

My first artist interview for Pandora became my first billboard. Forever grateful to Ambré for pulling up and giving us some of her time. Stream her new album 3000 °  out now! It’s incredible music from the production to the lyrics, and she put her heart into this one for New Orleans, her family and friends. 10 out of 10, no skips AND a Jay Elec verse.

A brief reflection: this week marked my two-year anniversary at #hbomax. It's been one of the best, most exhilarating experiences of my career, and it comes down to two things: the team and the content. The content, of course, is world-renowned. But the team—well, they are really something else: smart, creative, driven. More than anything else, though, they're just damn good people. Bright, curious, compassionate. 

A good reminder that, in the end, it all comes down to the teams you join, and the teams you build.

June was full of highlights! Here are some of my favorites:

Hosting 🎤 the Tribeca Festival Music Lounge In collaboration with Diageowhiskey brands, UnitedMasters, Pitchfork and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), Tribeca brought an exciting line-up of performances, industry panels, and branded experiences to Williamsburg’s hottest music venue: Baby’s All Right.

Hosting 🎤 the adidas Forum Forever Concert (Dave East, Dub Aura, Conniie Diamond) and Pop-Up. An event paying homage to the legendary Forum sneaker, an immersive experience that used NYC as a backdrop, and showed off a multi-room exhibition, taking spectators from the past to the present, and future of the shoe. 

Lastly, ⚡️I launched a concert series highlighting raw underground music across genres in Brooklyn
