In 2023, I co-founded Ecosapiens, an innovative climate-tech company. Our mission is to combine high-quality carbon credits with digital art and real-world assets. This unique approach enables both consumers and companies to visualize their environmental impact and receive rewards for their contributions, simply by purchasing art and fashion items. Featured first is our original hero video.

CONCEPT ART
This original concept art showcases a diverse cast of characters, each a unique fusion of fauna, flora, and minerals. These intricate designs pay homage to the vast spectrum of carbon-based life forms. The gentle undulation of their bodies evokes the vital essence of air, while their composition hints at a profound shift: carbon-based life has evolved into carbon-backed existence.
GENESIS COLLECTION
This collection was our first. A trait matrix with 5 levels of rarity and over a million possible combinations. The collection sold out and sequestered around 3000 tons of atmospheric carbon through the project, thats equal to planting around 3,400 trees and letting them grow for 40 years.
Users evolved their Genesis Ecosapiens each week for 7 weeks, adding carbon complexity, and increasing chances for rarity.
Examples of outputs from users once all 7 layers were evolved.
We built these animations in-house to play before each evolution.
ELESAPIEN COLLECTION
This was our third consumer drop, a more advanced and animated 5 layer trait matrix with the base character of an elephant Ecosapien.

ECOSAPIEN STUDIOS
(AKA ECO COMICS)
Journey into the world of Ecosapiens: a universe born from imagination, cutting-edge climate science, and dedicated to real-world change. Our full-length novel, now evolving into a graphic adaptation, lays the foundation for this rich, eco-conscious realm.
Meanwhile, we're releasing character-focused comics that expand the lore and invite readers to explore our world piece by piece. The best part? Every issue you read actively contributes to carbon sequestration. Dive into Ecosapiens - where great storytelling meets environmental action.

CELOSAPIEN
Celo is a green blockchain designed for real-world applications, recently they commissioned two unique dynamic NFTs called Celosapiens, representing climate projects like Kenyan Dryland restoration. As these 1-of-1 pieces sequestered more carbon, the characters evolved, gaining carbon complexity up to 12 levels.
With a community of 550,000+ members, the Celosapien project became Celo's top-performing social media post of the year, tripling average engagement. To date, it has sequestered approximately 410 tons of carbon from high-quality sources like forest protection credits – equivalent to growing 1,600 trees for 40 years.

The Rosy Soil Peatland Bog Project enhances customer engagement through an interactive digital platform. By scanning their Rosy Soil bag, customers learn about the company's climate initiatives, particularly peatland protection and restoration. Choosing peat-free, organic, and upcycled products contributes to ecosystem preservation, and customers receive a digital reward representing their impact on peatland conservation. To date, the project has sequestered 100 tons of carbon through peatland restoration and carbon capture efforts.

FUTURESAPIEN
The Futuresapien Eco-ticket is a unique digital art piece that doubles as a carbon offset for Future Horizon's FH24.1 event. By purchasing this blockchain-etched ticket, participants support ANMIGA, an organization of indigenous women in Brazil fighting for their rights and environmental preservation.
This innovative approach combines art, sustainability, and social impact, reflecting Future Horizon's commitment to driving meaningful change and celebrating a symbiotic future. With a community of over 83,000 Instagram followers, the project aims to demonstrate how individual actions can lead to significant positive impact.

MARKETING & COMMUNITY
In two short years we grew an organic following of 1 million + users, followers, and fans. Here are a few of the PLG, ads, activations and events we threw along the way to get us there.
MAUISAPIEN
The Ecosapiens community rallied to support Maui wildfire disaster relief, aiming to raise $10,000 through limited edition Mauisapien NFTs priced at $10 each. These devastating fires, the worst natural disaster in Hawaii's history, claimed at least 55 lives, destroyed over 1,000 buildings, and displaced thousands. As the crisis unfolded, Maui sought urgent support from the web3 community.
NFT NYC EVENT
During NFT.NYC, we hosted an unforgettable event at LUME Studios in New York City. The party was a resounding success, drawing over 500 guests who experienced fully immersive projection-mapped rooms. The vibrant atmosphere and cutting-edge visuals created a night to remember for all attendees.
