2 years ago, I was a laid-off commercial set designer with no pamdemic income support as a freelancer in the US.
I applied & lived off of artist grants, listened to @bankless podcasts while i made art, started contributing to DAOS, & now I'm rounding out my year at @0xPolygon
last week I was impacted by the 19% lay off at Polygon Labs.
fortunately, this means i'll be sharing more of my knowledge via a series of articles I get to write during my break.
here's the 1st one:

special ty to @cherdougie for inspiring the title 🙏🏽
💜@ChadHugghins said i should get an outfit pic after our studios panel in times square, and if i had to have one nyc tourist photo, this would be it.
thanks for all your support since day 0, Chad. you make working for @polygonstudios a no-brainer.
i do so admire my @0xPolygon colleagues
yah, we don't always see eye to eye on everything, probably cause we are a passionate, trailblazing group.
still, i respect the heck outta everyone wearing purple with pride 💜
we are faaaamily 💜

i will say that @emilylai is SO good at putting into words/validating the experiences & strategies i cooked in community/marketing on the protocol level and i applaud u for your clear comms on these matters, queen 👑
