AM Alanes

My loves include helping people connect socially, Web3 - art, music & film, acting, and fashion.

My current missions are to:

help people create and maintain friendships in adulthood in fun ways via my passion project, TogetherlyChicago
help independent filmmakers, experimental storytellers, and media creators with distribution and monetization using Web3 technology, as COO of Any Colour You Like (ACYL)
