Hi, I am Ismay, I bring people together to create meaningful projects at the intersection of art, tech, design, and media. Over the past decade, I’ve helped diverse groups find common ground and work toward shared goals—whether organizing community events, curating exhibitions, or developing digital platforms.
I also sometimes make art
and websites like this one
My approach is straightforward: find connections between different perspectives, translate complex ideas into simple actions, and maintain flexibility while keeping everyone aligned. When challenges arise, I draw on my network to find solutions, always believing that possibilities exist unless proven otherwise.
Beyond facilitating collaboration, I create websites and make art (check @ismay.dot). This hands-on creative experience informs how I approach projects, bringing both practical skills and an appreciation for the creative process.
CAPTIVATING COMMUNITIES
BOLDLY BUILDING BRIDGES
SMOOTH OPERATOR
I value human connection alongside technical outcomes, working to ensure that everyone involved not only achieves project goals but feels valued throughout the journey. At heart, I’m simply someone who enjoys bringing clarity to complexity and helping diverse talents work together effectively.
