These are what are most important to me.

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.

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.

Mum and dad have farmed here since the 80's. It's my favorite place to be.

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

SEO, Content marketing and story-telling

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

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

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

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.

😜 I can throw a javelin really far :)

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

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.

Impatience.

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

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.

A glass of wine, a good book and a hammock

I also love video games. OG League of Legends fanboy

Notion, Slack, Zapier, Figma, Visual Studio, Loom, Webflow, Bubble, Notes, and League of Legends is there for......research....

🧙 My Lord of the rings inspired nerd cave for working, painting, and gaming.

5% Strategy 10% Ideation 85% Building from the roots up.

Middle Earth is one of my favorite places to get lost.

Chaotic good.

Hold my beer.

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.

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

Motivated by these because work doesn't feel like work when my day-to-day involves 1 or more of these.

Show me once and then give me a bit of time and space to figure it out on my own.

Helping others + creative problem solving in an environment of high trust and autonomy where everyone gives a shit, gets me going.
