This year I built (and designed) a brand new landing page for my first ever book, written to bring people onchain…

Nearly 10,000 mints and a leaderboard to start putting together my onchain reader community πŸ₯°

2010 vs 2024 - nothing beats reconnecting with college/cheerleading mates over a decade later πŸ₯°

not mad about my cold weather fit considering I grew up (and still reside) in 80-90 degree weather ✌️

BIG NEWS! πŸ₯Ή @thehugxyz has been acquired by .ARTβ€”the premier domain registry for artists & art organizations πŸŽ‰

When Randi Zuckerberg and I started HUG 3 years ago, our mission was to empower artists to become successful entrepreneurs. Today marks a huge milestone.

Partnering with .ART this year, we were blown away by their commitment to the arts and network of 400K+ creators & organizations. We quickly realized we shared a vision πŸ’« here for the art πŸ’«

With .ART’s resources & onchain tools, we saw a unique opportunity to elevate HUG to new heights.

HUG has been a labor of love, and I’m endlessly grateful to all who’s been part of this journey. As HUG evolves under .ART, I’m excited to support our 35K+ global community as an advisor.

For 2025, I’m thrilled for my next chapter: as an author (!!) and continuing to build onchain (BULLISH ❀️‍πŸ”₯).

Taking a long overdue break, but DMs open for anyone looking to build something awesome together.

With love, gratitude, and hugs πŸ€—
big personal milestone πŸ₯Ή

the company I cofounded nearly 3 years ago with Randi Zuckerberg has been acquired by the biggest domain registry for the art and creative community πŸŽ‰
