Relevant Experience: I'm the co founder of Kōbō, one of my best experiments so far in trying to push web3 native IPs into the real world. I have a multi year experience in branding and product design as a freelance, and a deep knowledge and interest for web3 technologies and crytpo communities.
Thoughts on the Bobu Experiment: Bobu tokens where the one thing that drove me to Azuki. Reading about the vision of this collective experiment of shared ownership of IP was something that clicked with me instantly, as a truly decentralised way to bring creatives mind together in the attempt to achieve something remarkable and unique. I believe it has a lot of untapped potential, if we are able to align multiple channels and funds instead of fragment them into smaller proposal.
Contributions to the Experiment:
I think that my knowledge, initiative and sideway thinking can bring some true value to the council, as well as my true love and passion for the community, which at the moment I see (unfortunately) being a passive spectator to the experiment. My intent would be to change that through some community initiative to boost involvement and ensure broader representation.

Relevant Experience: 16 years as a creative director, shipping 30+ products sold in High Street retail stores. Launched brands and products using Azuki IP, including Skaters of The Internet, Arca Luminis, Zootekka Stickerbook, and Ledger Decals.
Thoughts on the Bobu Experiment: I love what’s been done so far and how great they serve our community, in saying that I feel we can develop some proven ideas with a Bobu twist and expand bobus reach to the web2 audience. These products could be digital or physical.
Contributions to the Experiment:
With my expertise in product development (both physical and digital) I am well equipped to guide, refine and or execute ideas.
Behind the scene I have help our community builders in offering advice and technical know how in their products.
Being on the committee would mean I continue helping in a more official manner.

Relevant Experience:
Currently, I hold a Senior role overseeing a global team at one of the world's largest FMCG companies. I manage international projects, stakeholder management, and end-to-end product development on a day-to-day basis. My tech curiosity grew in my previous role as a creative director for a life science company, translating bioinformatics and genetic engineering to an online platform. Building and executing the Bobu beer proposal has bridged my enthusiasm for beer, web3, and design, which continues to be a great experience.
Thoughts on the Bobu Experiment: I have a passion for Bobu, digital ownership, and blockchain technology. Enjoyed it since becoming a Bobu, both within the Garden and the IRL EU Bobu. It’s unique but could benefit from improved onboarding of new community members/normies, processes, and clear direction for the Bobu IP. I want to create a WOW (way of working) for proposals, onboarding, and help steer the IP more into a web2 space.
Contributions to the Experiment: I believe I can contribute fresh energy with passion for the experiment, a willingness to stay updated with trends, projects, and innovation (web3/2). Whether it's making art, building ideas, or helping proposals and events, my creativity is fuel for the Bobu/web3 space. I will promote clear direction, community engagement, supportiveness, and improve processes.
