I really admire teammates who are…

Kind, driven and take an ‘everyone chops wood and fetches water’ approach.

I think great teams care less about what their job title or role prescribes they do and more about what just needs doing. People stepping outside of role, for the good of the whole team energizes me.

Most fulfilling project cover image

Most fulfilling project I've worked on

Building Candor. No doubt.

It's a weirdly perfect combination of my ideal environment, stage, and mission in a role that challenges me every day to grow. I spend most of my time figuring new things out and I get to do that with a team who all give a shit. I absolutely love it.

Epic work fails

My first-ever twitter ad campaign brought 200k people to our landing page!!

🌱 Except it didn't. I just discovered a bot farm. For 5 glorious minutes, I was the king of marketing. #sadface

Things I want to learn cover image

Things I'd love to learn

SEO, Content marketing and story-telling

Think they'd make me a better contributor to the team

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Meetings that could have been emails and "hello" in slack. IYKYK.

Best way to get me excited about something

Share an idea or a problem visually (Figma/Miro)

One thing that might surprise you about me…

I've been told I'm a lot more intense than my first impression gives off.

The first time you see me excited about something.

A fun fact about me is…

😜 I can throw a javelin really far :)

Also, I can read super fast. World Top 1%.

2

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Shut down and close off. It's usually pretty noticeable.

Explain you've noticed me acting differently and ask what's up / what help I need.

My Achilles Heel is…

Impatience.

Help show me perspective (perhaps the thing I'm worried about isn't actually that important!) or help lift the roadblock with me!

I worry that my teammates might perceive me as…

Chaotic and clumsy.

I think its to do with how I communicate when I get excited about an idea. Sometimes I can flit around a lot. I can struggle to get my words out when my instincts are running hot and I'm excited about something. If you aren't used to working with me this can be a bit distracting I think.

If it's likely to hit hard, then I'd appreciate a bit of a heads up so i can get myself in the right frame of mind.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMspace for deep work in the PM< 2 meetings

It takes me a while to find my flow sometimes and will suddenly flick into ADHD hyperfocus at peculiar times of day.
