A curious creature circumnavigating the crossroads of creativity and commerce.

Updated my portfolio!

Included within: references to obscure scientific papers, self deprecating quasi-humour... & samples of my photo, writing, and interview work.

Best enjoyed in IMAX for proper cinematic experience... but desktop is a solid plan B

Four sold out shows from @lunaliband @oliviarodrigo @rinasawayama over three days in #Toronto.

As someone who grew up listening to artists who looked nothing like me, it's INCREDIBLE to see so much asian womxn musical excellence ❤️

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

Congrats @j_zanazzi! I'm so proud of you ❤️

Scored myself a free pair of socks (arguably the most useful #QuestDay drop)... but low key heartbroken I didn't get my hands on a Lil' Questy. Look at his tiny legs!!

Dr. 6DOF is giving me Dr. Casper Darling vibes, and I am very much a fan. #QuestDay #ControlRemedy

Had a blast experiencing @Welcome2Respite at @Tribeca and interviewing some of the cast + creators afterward. You can check out my review and video interview about this very neat #immersive #VR experience below.

@cleopatrickband @TOWER_Marubiru This is beautiful 😍

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

Props to @sxsw for speaking up in support of the AAPI community. Thank you for the productive conversation, @Hugh_W_Forrest and for taking action.

[SXSW @sxsw]

The escalating hate speech and violence directed at the AAPI community that has culminated in the shootings in Atlanta is devastating.

After a year of the rhetoric around Covid, it is not surprising.

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

Hi @charles_yu, @sxsw has yet to address the recent hate crimes against Asian individuals. Though I do not believe it should be solely the responsibility of POC individuals to highlight these issues, will you be discussing it during your #SXSW keynote tomorrow? #StopAsianHate

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

Hey @sxsw, I love y'all, but I'm disappointed that I've heard no mention in any of your sessions or social posts about the GA hate crimes that occurred earlier this week. #StopAsianHate #SXSW2021

@TylerRochwerg One might even say that they are... croucial

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

@RichRaycraft Good luck! Keep us posted on what's good 😊

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

@RichRaycraft What's on your list!

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

A great @sxsw online session this afternoon featuring
@ChefKwame in conversation with @LizCurrent.

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

"SX has an element of serendipity that I haven't found anywhere else."
- @LizCurrent

I've long tried to articulate my love for @sxsw. Liz Bacelar just hit the nail on the head. This. This is why I love SX, and this is why I miss it dearly.

@amywebb @librawhite @adamgraham @martinmysyk @orbtrip @bd944 @leelzee @dmitryshishkin @louiseperes @samanthagwolfe Oh my goodness. You already made my week with your talk on Tuesday, but this is absolutely the cherry on top. Thank you so much @amywebb ❤️

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

A huge thank you to @amywebb and @sxsw for bringing this session to life online.

In my 4 years attending #sxsw, it's been my must see. Still heartbroken for the SX that almost was, but grateful that the spirit and ideas that make it so special are alive and well.

#ThankYouSXSW

A few of my favourite soundbites from @amywebb's annual @sxsw tech trends report.

Terrifying, hopeful, fascinating, and as always - incredibly insightful.

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

@amywebb said it best:

We ❤️ @sxsw.

So, so happy that she shared her annual tech trends report with us through this livestream. It's of my SX highlights every year, and especially relevant in these uncertian times.

[Katrina L @thekatalysts]

@IhateBenRayner Probably for the best. I changed my flight home - coming back this afternoon 🤞 Stay safe, friend.
