2. Insights from the journey of becoming an independent NFT artist and unbundling your work from employment
3. Representation and diversity in web3 & crypto ecosystem
Shreya in her own words -
"I'm an artist / illustrator from India, based in London and I have just (FINALLY) dipped my toe into the NFT world. Here's a little about me! I have worked in the fashion industry for 11 years but have always caged an illustrator in me, but the pandemic pushed me to share my art and let it free. I started my art page then on Instagram called Brushbound.
I'm an introvert, but my mind is constantly buzzing, and I find it difficult to translate all that into words. Instead, I used art, and with that, found sense in the chaos. BrushBound is my way of telling the world that it is ok to be a mess. It is ok to not have it together. I want women to not just accept and be ok with themselves... but to love themselves. I express a whirlwind of these emotions in bold, eclectic, clashing colours and patterns."NOTE: You can use the code CAPITAL25 and download the Mudrex mobile application.
