What people are saying

        Working alongside Judy at the International Women of Blockchain Conference 2023 was an absolute delight. She skillfully incorporated a captivating metaverse experience that was not only educational but also incredibly fun for all the attendees.

Metaverse Educator

Hi, I'm Judy.

I first got involved with VR during COVID when we all needed to pivot from in-person to virtual events and college teaching. I have since used VR for training, collaborating and events. I am fascinated by the metaverse and believe that it is the answer to advertising overload! The same way every brand needs a website today, soon everyone will need their own world, I invite you to join me in exploring this new reality.
