Shooting Since
I’m a digital marketing entrepreneur and the founder of Thrivemattic, an AI-driven marketing agency. I’m focused on developing AI marketing solutions and tools that enhance and complement modern marketing strategies for higher education clients.
Previously, I co-founded and scaled Pixelmattic, a specialised WordPress agency. I worked closely with marketing teams and business owners, advising them on content strategy, SEO-optimised website development, and digital growth.
I’m also the co-founder of DreamNotion Innovations, the parent company of Thrivemattic and Pixelmattic. Our first digital venture was XPlore, a gamified social learning platform designed for schools and colleges.
My journey in marketing began at NeuroTrax, a growth-stage startup in the US, where I worked as a Manager of Sales & Marketing Operations. I designed and implemented sales workflows using Salesforce CRM, assisted the Customer Support & Loyalty team with marketing campaigns, and conducted product training for both customers and internal teams.
I’m a photography enthusiast, shooting since 2005. I currently shoot with a Fujifilm X-S10 and occasionally with a Fujifilm X100S. You can see a selection of images on 500px or browse the photo gallery.
