Turning journalism IP into storytelling gold
“I grew up immersed in a world of stories told by my loved ones and the ones from television and films. These formative experiences have shaped my passion for storytelling, which I now wholeheartedly embrace at Madstylus, by using my journalistic background to bring stories to life.”
