I'm someone who never settles for one perspective.
I always question what may seem as the obvious,
and never take common sense for granted.
Because things, which are 'common sense' have not always been either sensible or common.
(shoutout to Flat Earthers 👋🏻).
Somebody had to create that sense
and then make it common.
You will probably hear me say this a lot:
"What if we look at this from a completely different angle?"
Because things are not always what they appear to be...
But also because my mind is always like this:
Curiosity is in fact one of my main personality traits!*
*According to Trend Hunter's Innovation Assessment,
my innovation archetype is an Inventive Mediator.
Primary trait = Curiosity
Secondary trait = Loyalty
Which means I am someone who...
⭐️. Constantly seeks new information and inspiration
⭐️. Is likely to ask "why" and "how" instead of "what"
⭐️ Is likely to spot opportunity that otherwise might be overlooked
My curiosity also took me
on many journeys around
the world...
When I was 16, I moved across the world on my own to
London, UK
And then again
at the age of 22
to Toronto, Canada,
which is where I currently live.
I did a marketing internship in Shanghai, China.
I volunteered in the slums of India...
...before I learned about colonialism, white saviour complex and 'otherness'.
And once I did, I won a research grant,
and came back to conduct ethnography...
....which led to a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
There were a number of things that made it all possible...
But one secret ingredient that helped me succeed..
Hey, it's 2022, feel free to choose your own noun.
So here I am:
A life-long learner with 2 bachelor degrees and a bunch of diverse skills.
Looking for ways to put them all to use while creating meaningful impact.
Made you think?
That is what I love to do: make people think.
But also take them on a journey with my thoughts...
