Hey :)
I'm Emma-Jane
In 2016, I bought my first Bitcoin and Ethereum on a mobile Bread wallet — which I eventually lost access to. Even then, it was obvious that decentralized tech would shake up markets and accelerate more than almost any other sector. It was always about more than just the technology, for me; its the complex tangle of high-stakes challenges that promise real value but were practically impossible to explain without a deeper grasp of the engineering, market dynamics, and all the unique cultural undercurrents involved. I’ve always been draw to knotty, real-world problems like it.

From web3fashion to advanced autonomous agents, simulating risks and variance swaps, if it can deliver a greater say in how we each decide to live, at the edges of networks, is rarely understood and could benefit from clear translation into stories, art, code, and markets, you'll find me there.
