As a music artist manager and enthusiastic techie, I was really excited to start an NFT collection with one of my artists. We built it from the ground up one year ago, and we are still the only ones in Europe who are connecting the music NFTs to streaming royalties AND real life experiences with the artist. This year I'll be focusing on expanding the NFT climate in the Netherlands by sharing my knowledge and experiences with other people in the music industry. My mission is to normalize NFTs and build a world that is more connected and sustainable for future generations.

Adventure sports and fitness loving artist , self learning UX/UI designer, mommy of 2 little boys, wife and bestie of an amazing man. I was HR till 2013, moved to Johannesburg in 2016, travelled lot, had kids and decided not to go back to being HR and working hard to switch careers to UX/UI designer and Illustrator. Recently I found my dream design job at a startup, but was laid off, as they wanted to be a 'Web3' company and had no place for a beginner like me. After this heartbreak (damn I cried during the exit call, felt like complete idiot) I discovered and read about Web3 and hence, NFTs. Since then I am in love with this community and thankful to have the drive to be an artist like never before. I wish to talk about how intimidating and beautiful this experience has been for me.
