About

In the age of information, expertise in a single niche matters less than the ability to connect diverse fields and create new solutions. I see myself as a generalist and a bridge-builder between different domains, from web design and climate tech to investing, real estate, and operations. I approach challenges holistically and develop smart systems that combine sustainability, technology, and real-world impact. My journey spans founding a design agency (EARTH1), working in venture capital and investor relations (Climate Insiders, Carbon Equity, First Momentum Ventures), and executing projects in real estate. I am driven by curiosity, entrepreneurship, and the belief that versatility and systems thinking are the keys to building relevant solutions today. I bring together expertise, connect people and ideas, and support projects from concept to execution, always with the goal of creating lasting value for society, the environment, and business.

Something happened to startup communication. Founders are visionaries, immersed in innovation, development, and growth—which is exactly as it should be. But while they're busy changing the world, their startups often struggle to communicate their true value effectively. Websites become an afterthought—generic templates that fail to capture the essence of their groundbreaking ideas. At EARTH1, we believe your startup deserves a website as unique as your vision. We're offering to design it for free. We'll handle everything—design, copy, custom animations—to tell your story powerfully and authentically. No risk involved; you approve the design before any commitment. Because communication shouldn't be another challenge on your list. Let us take care of it, so you can focus on what you do best.
