            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My long-term vision</strong> involves uniting the power of web3 builders and creators with traditional climate change advocacy groups and high-profile institutions to model, test, and identify sustainable global frameworks for climate change, educational, and future society that employ gamification principles to incentivize participation.</p><p><strong>My short-term vision</strong> involves creating a new model for a female-led artist/creator/communication platform business that is both a creative/artistic home to my numerous conceptual NFT projects, the most prominent of which is a climate change-themed series, and a vehicle for web2/web3 “edutainment” content around climate change and gamified life for web2 platforms.</p><p>When I first heard about the Angel Labs’ program on the Bankless &quot;Overpriced JPEGs&quot; podcast, I immediately wanted to apply, because I thought it would be an honor to have Alex and Ally and the whole Meta Angels team as mentors and allies as I build out a multimedia creator DAO around my gamified life content series, music, and conceptual art projects into a series of business pipelines and community interest groups.  </p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/30308e496df71ce73382495a5f5993c8f1cb958707e3efb78fb2714b6fb68af8.png" alt="Mockups in collaboration with artist Joacim Svedlund" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Mockups in collaboration with artist Joacim Svedlund</figcaption></figure><p>I see Web3 as an incredible space to build a more sustainable, beautiful world (virtually and physically) that gives access to and incentivizes the creation of highest quality &quot;edu-tainment&quot; experiences that empower individuals, communities, and our larger global ecosystem.  </p><p>I was a Narrative Studies major at USC, which was an interdisciplinary major about the application of narrative in traditional entertainment like film/television and gaming, as well as business and advertising, and spent the majority of my studies researching and thinking about the future of transmedia narrative/creative Intellectual Properties.</p><p>I intend to use this training to be a bridge between traditional entertainment, social media content, web2, and web3 in pursuit of accessible, adoptable gamified life IP frameworks that educate and engage users in climate change and future society quests that personalize every “player’s” journey of self-improvement, and climate positive and future and collective-minded behavior.</p><p>I am one of the leaders of the Web3 Social DAO FWB: Friends With Benefit’s Metaverse group, and am getting my Masters Degree in Immersive Technology and Media at Tisch in a one year masters/accelerator program, and I intend to build out the content series and other pieces within the program as my year-long program thesis. Additionally, Julie Wrigley, the founder of the eponymous ASU Global Futures Lab, hopes to align my work with that of the Global Futures Lab so we can be force multipliers with one another’s efforts. I have also had a number of “crypto whales” say they can and will vouch for my projects to help guarantee their success in web3 spheres.</p><p>My hope, if given the opportunity to work with Angel Labs, would be to get the support of the Angels Lab and Meta Angels team to streamline and get support standing up a web3 native business with web3 and web2-facing content and applications that allows for web2 and web3 adoption. Additionally, I would appreciate hearing the Angel Labs teams’ insights on which content and/or “product” lines to develop and bring to market first for an adoption-maximizing rollout (from the music components to the conceptual art to the climate-focused sub-projects).</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4a0c06096585afa7d64bc2b5d99cac779dbfbf031ab7d02e3f26365112b55557.png" alt="Mockups in Collaboration with Joacim Svedlund" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Mockups in Collaboration with Joacim Svedlund</figcaption></figure><p>Because we have a ever-shortening time window of fewer than 9 years to resolve climate change before we hit a tipping point (at which humanity cannot recover from the effects), my vision is to build a create DAO, release the first season of my content series on web2 social media platforms to garner interest, and bring people over to web3 DAOs with a series of NFT drops, and continue to pull together all the key stakeholders into the same conversation around climate change and future society.</p><p>As a creator and a communicator, I want to lay the foundation for and facilitate the larger transmedia multiverse conversation, conceptualization, and implementation of climate change solutions using web3 technology and more immersive forms of social storytelling that gamify life so we can all play our way to a better world.</p><p>It would be an honor to align our visions and work with the the Angel Labs and Meta Angels teams to co-create the “better world” we imagine online and offline together.</p>]]></content:encoded>
