About - Instead of Doomscrolling

I’m on a mission to genuinely disrupt the attention economy and start building a connection economy, starting from within,

But I can’t do this on my own.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IF YOU DECIDE TO JOIN

A couple of years back, I got tired of mindless consumption and doomscrolling—which if you’re here, you probably are too—so I decided to reclaim what the current systems were designed to exploit: my attention, my agency, and my humanity. I felt so powerless scrolling past a world that felt doomed, losing myself to a screen to avoid thinking about it. I felt like I couldn’t change the world, so I decided to change myself. Once I started sharing this journey, I realized that if I’m not the only one, maybe we can actually change the world, even if just a little.

I’m just a regular (extremely curious) person who had internet access, a very neurodivergent brain, and something to say. over 500k of you and a hell of a lot of learning later, figuring out what to do instead of doomscrolling—and sharing it with you—has completely transformed my life.

After living four years in Italy and studying Fashion Business, I decided to come back home to Bogotá—jumping into the deep end to pursue writing and creating full-time, crossing my fingers that trough IOD, we can create something that constructs a reality that is worth dreaming of.

I believe that by transforming how we interact with the media and digital landscape—shifting from passive consumption into active resistance through literacy, self-education, and creative expression—we can reshape the world into what we want it to become through individual and collective agency.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IF YOU DECIDE TO JOIN

Accessibility is one of the core values of IOD, so there will always be something available to everyone—even on paid posts and projects—but to keep this space alive, your direct support means that you value my work, the shift from the attention economy to the connection economy, and the other independent projects I share with you.

also there are obv a bunch cool perks to going paid!!!

What everyone will always have access to:

Media To Consume Instead of Doomscrolling—monthly selection of podcasts, articles, essays, YouTube videos + my reflections on them
Interludes—monthly lives where I share what’s going on in my head, the BTS of the publication + connecting with you
Collabs and partnerships with some really cool people and projects
Correspondence—a space for digital pen pals and genuine interpersonal exchange (more on this soon!!!)

+ intro essays on paid posts

In the meantime, I would love to get to know you + you can sign up for the waitlist on the correspondence space here as well

Introduce yourself here :)

Extras you’ll get if you become a paid sub:

Hyperfixations—monthly deep dives into a broad, conceptual topic I’m hyperfixating on as a starting point of questioning together. Collectively gathered resources and reflections via the Media Club as the live community extension.
Media Club—small, monthly live zoom built around that month’s Hyperfixation. Signup includes access to a shared Notion page with curated resources from me where you can add your own. (starting next month, still a lot tbd but we will figure it out as we get started with the dynamic—suuuuper excited for this)
Beyond the Algorithm—essays that include how-to guides + resource lists for navigating life beyond algorithmic ways of the internet.
Monthly Media Ecosystem—a monthly wrap-up of digital and physical artifacts that I’ve actually been engaging with. Includes books, films, pdfs, music, websites, etc. A more personal glimpse into what’s influencing everything else that goes on around here, and my life.
