Ok. HELLO EVERYONE. AND WELCOME. This is it.
This is a bold move from me ~ made with care, intention, and a lot of love for this community.
I truly believe our industry needs spaces that feel human again.
Spaces where we can talk honestly about what works, what doesn’t, what hurts, and what helps us move forward — without pressure, gatekeeping, or pretending everything is perfect.
After years of working, teaching, mentoring, and navigating creative and tech industries myself, I’ve seen the same patterns again and again:
talented people feeling lost, beginners overwhelmed, professionals burned out, important conversations never really happening..
So I decided to take the lead and create something different.
How to Survive in the IndustryEvery week, I’ll be hosting a live stage inside Discord with industry veterans, professionals, and experts — creating a soft, safe, and welcoming space to talk, listen, ask questions, and learn from real experiences.
We’ll talk about:
real career paths
projects and failures
tech art, 3D, Unreal, games
creative and tech industries as a whole
how to survive, adapt, and grow
All in one place.
How it works
Live sessions happen inside Discord
Each week we’ll have a guest from the industry
Questions and portfolio reviews are curated
Updates, guests, and access are announced here in the newsletter
If you can’t attend live — that’s completely fine.
Each session will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube, so you can watch it later.
This week’s session
Platform: Discord
Day: Friday
Time & guest: announced soon here in the newsletter
To participate live, the first step is to join Discord — the access link will be shared here.
I’m doing this because I care deeply about this industry and the people in it.
I know how lonely and confusing it can feel, especially when you’re trying to find your place or move to the next level.
This is my way of giving back — and building something meaningful together.
Thank you for being here.
