I published a book:
NFT School For Artists
An Artist’s Guide To Creating And Selling Non-Fungible Tokens, Building A Community, And Making A Living With Digital Royalties Even if You Have No Experience

The book helps artists understand and use NFT technology in their lives and work. I also do one-on-one consulting on this topic.
I love talking to artists and helping them to get into space.

Three things I believe in are:
- Telling your story
- Personal Branding
- Building a Community

This is the only true way you will ever be able to live off your art.

In 2023, I spoke at a conference - https://web3tales.io/ - NFT minting workshop.
In 2024, I spoke at the NFT NYC - https://bit.ly/4aQnu2K - on the topic of Ai, Art, and NFTs.

Looking forward to more opportunities to share my knowledge and vision :)

This is not a fictional thriller — it’s a real-life journey from covert operative to global truth-teller. In this raw and revelatory session, Bradley “Hawk” Steyn unpacks his transformation from apartheid-era intelligence operative to a whistleblower who exposed criminality and extremism within powerful state systems.
Using real-world case studies, never-before-shared stories, and visual documentation from his covert years, Bradley offers a deep-dive into the psychological, moral, and systemic toll of standing up against corruption from the inside.
He’ll walk the audience through key turning points: how intelligence was manipulated to target innocent civilians, the moment he chose truth over complicity, and the personal cost of betrayal, surveillance, and exile.
This is a high-impact, high-integrity talk for organizations navigating crisis, ethical leadership, and institutional reform.
Why it matters: In a world where disinformation and institutional mistrust are skyrocketing, this session delivers a rare inside-out perspective on how integrity — even in the darkest corridors of power — can be a catalyst for reform.

Hey there! I'm Gabrielle, a total product nerd with a real knack for getting things done efficiently and solving problems like a boss. My career has been all about product development, and I've got the track record to prove it- promotions and salary raises were like my middle name!

But you know what? As much as I rocked it in the corporate world, I started feeling like something was off. Being the perfect corporate steward just wasn't fulfilling the life I had in mind. It was time for a change!

So, I decided to follow my heart and chase a career that truly aligns with all parts of me- the mom, the visionary, the innovator, and the go-getter. I wanted a path that let me be all of that and more.

Now, with my infectious energy, passion for innovation, and dedication to excellence, I'm on a mission to create a career that fits perfectly with my life and everything that matters to me. It's a journey of intentionality. I still tackle incredibly complex business challenges & I think outside the box, all while getting to teach others to do the same and chase their own career confidence!

Cheers to chasing our dreams and embracing all the parts that make us who we are!
