I’ve been building on the open web for close to two decades — as a developer, agency owner, community organizer, startup founder, and ecosystem builder. The through-line in all of it is a genuine love for what WordPress and open source make possible, and for the people who show up to make it better.

I’m based in Israel, I’m a mother of seven, and I believe the open web is worth defending.
