(aka team wdn)

A TRIBE LED BY WOMEN

We are an all-female team, led and founded by multicultural, 3rd culture kids who’ve always seen the human behind the labels. When you defy all categories yourself and grow up surrounded by others like you, you can’t help having a human-centred lens on life.

Over many years in hospitality, film, events, top agencies, consulting, and digital, we’ve developed our secret sauce: an approach to curation that brings raw authenticity and cultural relevance to the way humans and brands interact with other humans. Both on- and offline.

As a core team fully aligned on this mission to disrupt society and culture, we bring together people from all walks of life – creatives, generalists, artists, dreamers, hustlers, freelancers, nomads, talented mavericks and bohemians – and all those who don’t conform to normalcy,  but come with buckets of life experience.
