A few days ago marked the end of my chapter at Solflare.
That said, I didn’t want this post to be defined solely by an ending.
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to help grow one of the most recognizable brands in the @solana ecosystem. From product launches & edu campaigns to livestreams, IRL events, conferences, Breakpoint, community initiatives, creative strategy, & countless pieces of content,
I’m incredibly proud of what we built.
More importantly, I’m grateful for the people I had the privilege of working alongside (you know who you are). To my teammates, collaborators, creators, & everyone in the Solana community who trusted me, challenged me, or cheered me on, thank you.
I arguably believe we are were of the best socials teams in Web3.
We made the work meaningful + magical.
I’m choosing to carry forward the experience, the relationships, & the skills I’ve built rather than the disappointment surrounding my departure.
This isn’t the end, it’s simply the close of one chapter.
I’m actively exploring my next opportunity in marketing, creative strategy, content, & growth, particularly within Web3 & emerging tech.
If you know of a team looking for someone who thrives at turning complex products into stories people actually care about, I’d love to connect.
To everyone who’s supported me along the way: thank you.
I’m excited to see what’s next.
last week we parted ways with some of the most amazing people on this app, people you know well from the timeline:
@mauricedotxyz@leclop_sol @devmajesty @satoshitriangle
as our organization evolved, we adjusted our team structure to match. this wasn't a reflection of their performance or contributions.
they are all insanely talented and a huge part of what Solflare has become. so much of what you've seen on our timeline, that was them. we're grateful for everything they built with us.
every one of them is open for new engagements starting now. if you want a reference, my DMs are open, happy to vouch and write recommendations for each of them.
go give them a follow 🫡
Hot take:
Being a Swiss Army knife early in your career is wildly underrated.
Specialization makes you valuable.
But knowing enough about 10 different disciplines to understand how they work together makes you dangerous.
Especially at a startup.
I’ve made content seen by millions of people.
& one of the biggest things it taught me is that you usually have no fracking idea what’s going to hit.
You can have a thesis.
You can study the data.
You can understand your audience.
You still have to ship.
Marketing is educated experimentation.
When you get on a call with @devmajesty_ and can’t get off 😭 because you’re sleuthing, ideating, web3 trauma bonding and all the girl things in between.
