Linkedin ↗️

I founded Zebra out of a love for design and a desire to make a meaningful impact by helping startups.


Previously, I built a design studio dedicated to web3 startups. Growing the team to over thirty designers. Leading teams of highly skilled designers.


I took a sabbatical after disillusionment with the tech industry and a desire to return to my craft rather than building a business.


Now, I’m focused on leveraging my experience to collaborate with startups aiming for positive impact.
