WORK HISTORY
Chief Executive Officer @Starkade
Newcastle upon Tyne, GB
STARKADE is a vibrant universe combining story, art, gaming and community. We’re telling the story of a fantastical place where fighters are watched by millions, and where the ultimate champion might just be able to change the world. In February ‘22, we sold out our initial collection of more than fighters during pre-sale, and embraced the darkness by gifting a small collection of Lost Fighters later that spring. But that’s not the end of the tale. We’ve got a busy few years planned out. We’ll be introducing new features and expansions, such as power-ups, a tabletop game, new stories, and the much-anticipated Legion Arena - where our Recruiters can pit their fighters against each other for fame, credits and greater rewards. Join our STARKADE community, and watch our universe grow. https://discord.gg/STARKADE
