Shomaila in a quiet, reflective moment

My Story

Before the platforms, there were two degrees I didn’t finish.

This is the part that doesn’t make it into the highlight reel — the false starts, the pivot, and the years of building alone before any of it worked.

6 semesters

Software Engineering

Six semesters into a software engineering degree, I already knew it wasn't going to be my career.

5 semesters

Fashion Design

I switched to fashion design instead. Five semesters later, life had other plans.

2016 – 2019

The Pivot

While that software engineering degree was still running, I started managing social media and product listings for a few small brands on the side. That's where I found digital marketing — and where I posted my first pieces of content, on Instagram and YouTube, with no idea it would become a career.

No shortcuts

The Build

No team. No budget. No plan B. Just consistency, one post at a time, for years.

And today —

Built without a team. Without a budget. Just me, and a refusal to wait for permission.
