after a literal entire decade i finally got around to putting together a lil portfolio site for my photos 😅 (honestly astounded i've managed to have a thriving photography career for the last 10 years without ever having my photos uploaded to a dedicated site! but better late than never) will be shooting some headshots for colleagues this week at @mtndao and have some sick shoots planned this month with @GC_onX + team. dm if you're looking for photo help! 📸

We're going back to the mtn to close out the month is the best way we know how: elevating Solana's builders. Join us at @mtndao X in SLC or stream Demo Day right here on Solana Events on August 28th.

You've built. You've sweat. You've pushed your limit. It's time for the world to see. INTRODUCING MTNDAO X: DEMO DAY Friday, August 28th, 2026. Produced by @solana and @SolanaEvents at MTN HQ. Livestreamed to the whole world. GIDDY UP:

year 1 of tattooing 🖤 one of the greatest gifts we're given in life is the agency to be whoever you want to be -- i started tattooing part time on real skin about 1 year ago (still a tech workaholic full time with no plans to change) and am inordinately grateful for this journey that has brought me worldwide, to work in studios + alongside artists i’ve dreamed about for years ~60 tattoos down and unbelievably floored to have tattooed dozens of my friends, colleagues, and loved ones. i have neither a formal tattoo portfolio nor a dedicated instagram account, so am extremely grateful to have had a pretty steady stream of clients from word of mouth + referrals; to date, i've only had one client that didn't come from my existing network, which feels pretty surreal to say but more than anything, i think i am most grateful to have found a craft that's led me back to my roots, as just a girl who loves to draw. in a world where velocity in startups is everything, tattooing has taught me how to find presence again — and how sometimes the fastest way to doing something right is actually in giving it the time and patience it deserves 📸 ft. - coverup in progress from friday's 10 hr session - some recent work i'm proud of - hand tats for @kenton_cooley at the @mtndao office -- my favorite workstation of all time - my loyal portuguese content team @GC_onX @TiagoTheCreat0r books are open all month at @mtndao 🗻🖤

i'm bullish on fabian not only because he's uber competent, but he flew all the way from germany to @mtndao at great personal sacrifice so that he could learn from the best and contribute what he knows dedication to one's @solana dreams should be celebrated!

this is how we win #2#: solana in the americas across the americas, solana is beginning to feel less like a collection of isolated crypto communities and more like a movement. much of it has grown from the ground up. developers, founders, creatives, traders and operators have formed local centres of gravity. they build together, open doors, organise events, teach new people, exchange ideas, create culture and pull others into the ecosystem. around that grassroots energy, @SolanaFndn and a growing set of institutions are accelerating local momentum and connecting it to the wider network. in the west, @mtndao has made salt lake city a recurring gathering point. san francisco has @colosseum and a dense concentration of founders, investors and builders. los angeles has @solanaspaces and a powerful creative scene. in the midwest, @oniondao_ has built something distinctly chicago: a community where builders, artists and frontier technologists come together to experiment, collaborate and create. alongside @solanamidwest, it is growing the ecosystem beyond the traditional silicon valley technology circuit. in the east, @SolanaSkyline has become a physical centre for solana in new york, while @cycol_gallery gives artists and culture somewhere to gather. miami-based @SuperteamUSA is bringing founders and operators into the ecosystem through events, community and capital formation. in washington, @SolanaInstitute is building the policy influence the next generation of companies will need. across canada, mexico and latin america, @SuperteamCAN, @SuperteamMX, @SuperteamBR, @SuperteamAR and @SolanaCostaRica are building distinct centres of gravity, each shaped by its own culture, conditions and urgency. knitting it all together are movements like @collegexyz and @standwithcrypto, and the informal networks of people who keep showing up. great ecosystems are built when strong local communities keep their character, while talent, ideas and opportunity move freely between them. this is how we win. photo credit: @niran7, ft. @AshleyDCan

THE. LONG. AWAITED. mtndao X week 1 kicks off today. With builders flying in, the office coming alive, and the unmistakable frequency of the MTN energy starting to permeate the air, we only have one question: Who's climbing higher?

@MetaDAOProject mechanized how a DAO decides: > what should we do❓ We mechanized how it settles a dispute: > who's right? 🫵 A DAO needs both. One decides, one settles and together they run end-to-end on mechanisms. no committee no founder no human bottleneck. 🧵👇

5 years. 10 iterations. "I really think, if you do show up to mtndao - for a day, for a week, for a month - it will change the trajectory of your career." Hear @gumdropsteve, @tj_littlejohn, and @barrett_io reflect on something you can feel in the air here: The MTN provides.
