Web3
Over the last year, I’ve made a move to Web3 and have become an active voice in $FWB (Friends With Benefits) and the larger NFT space (Mirror, Zora, Foundation and Hicetnunc). There’s only a small group of designers with the literacy of crypto and also the vision to see how it can be conceptually and practically related to real-world projects — this is where I’m positioning my work now.NFTs
