past:

📍 vancouver

- at 16, I cofounded fern, a biodegradable stationery company, sold over 50000 markers, planted 1000 mangroves, realized it wasn't venture scalable, and exited.

- at 13, I started a sneaker cook group and grew to 450 members & 340k arr before shutting down late covid.

- between the two I built a couple of apps w  >25k downloads and finalisted in rise, atlas, & more.
