Douglas Eriksen

My career was in the music industry as a producer. It was in this role that I began to understand the socio-economic value of creative content, mainly in developing infrastructures, which I presented a TED Talk on. It was through this scope that I started down the blockchain rabbit-hole.
By 2020, I delved deep into the Web3 space. I embarked on my Masters in Law, as I knew it was an important sector in Web3 with new technologies needing modern legal frameworks and innovative interpretations of current law. My dissertation was on blockchain technology in IP law. I also studied Blockchain Strategy through Oxford University, earning myself a diploma.
In 2022 I was included in the list of Top 333 Web3 Content Creators on Linkedin and continue to build, connect and innovate in the Web3 space.
