“As a visual artist with 20 years of experience in the creative arts I wanted to build a project that has deeper roots and having Nina Kong-Surtees as my mentor helped me achieve this. Nina has pushed me to create better work and constantly asked me on my 'why' in order to create a deeply rooted project that can weather the storm. Her knowledge, guidance and grace has helped me build a project I am proud of and that people connect with. Having the right mentor is a gamechanger and Nina has helped me connect the dots so I can ascend with my NFT project.”
