Exciting Update | #001

Dear Fellow Creative, I am excited to announce some positive changes to enhance your membership experience and protect our shared creative journey. Here's what you need to know: I have moved all my premium content to a dedicated, blockchain-secured section on my temporary website (the beautiful new one is in the making). I used to publish directly on Paragraph.xyz, but they removed the token-gating feature, which was imperative to me. This shift to my own website allows me to offer you a more...

Journaling | The Art of Excess

stellaachenbach

Life isn't easy! For no one. At the beginning, it feels like a never-ending quest, in the middle like the software got stuck, and I want to assume that in the end, it feels like it went over way too fast. Nonetheless, and undeniably, life is harder for some people than others. I couldn't help myself. Even though I had several points in life that felt like encountering the "boss-level" way too early, I could overcome them and stand my ground. Many reasons make these types of successful challen...

Resources | The Creator’s Guide to Transitioning from Web2 to Web3

stellaachenbach

As a creator, your content is your livelihood, but on Web2 platforms, you often don’t own your audience, your data, or even your work. What if you could reclaim control, earn more fairly, and build a community that truly belongs to you? Welcome to Web3.Background StoryRecently, it has been less obvious, but as some of you know, my background is that of a creator. I studied and worked in the fashion industry before moving into digital design, and eventually, I fully immersed myself in topics o...

Color Vibe | #8 Isabelline

▼Background Story (if you haven't read it before)I am obsessed not with many things but one thing: Colors. As a professional creator, investing in a full-scale color system to collaborate more efficiently is often the only choice. But for most creators, investing in a color system is not affordable. Similar to the printing industry, Pantone is the most widely used color standard in the fashion industry. A few years ago, I invested in their complete stack (fashion), which cost me around three ...

Journaling | Decentraland's MFW '25

stellaachenbach

During last week's Fashion Tech Tuesday's X space, run by the fabulous Janey Park, I met Tangpoko again. Years ago, we used to frequent some of the same Clubhouse and Twitter spaces all around digital fashion. After I re-oriented myself towards Token Engineering/ Complex System Design and became the Lead Steward of Unlock Protocol DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), these spaces drifted sadly further away. Due to Janey's invitation, I found my way back and was very happy about it. Sh...

Background StoryWith the internet in the hands of a few holders, I recently decided to create my own Metahuman avatar. The idea is to start using her instead of my own face on social media, which is not by nature decentralized (such as Mastadon, Lens Protocol, BlueSky, Farcaster, or similar). It will disable the creation of more content that potentially makes my face used for further AI training or other things that I didn't agree on. Those are my motivators, but with this specific project, I...

Background StoryGaming has been a true passion of mine for many years. I keep telling the story of the first Tomb Raider game that came attached to the components of my brand-new Nvidia graphics card back in 1996. My dad and I had set out to build my next PC together from scratch as the former one sadly went up in flames (yeah, don't ask, I still don't know what I did to it, I swear). Either way, I instantly fell in love with the game's main character, Lara Croft. So much so that I started re...
