Madison Parks, a ceramicist and Web3 enthusiast, embarks on an unexpected journey to take self-custody of her crypto assets, discovering an exhilarating yet chaotic world that challenges her to take bold risks and become a better version of herself.
"When I was in high school and college, crypto careers weren't necessarily something to aspire to. So I just stuck with my passions, and my passions are people to people communication and art. So I got my degree in communications, and I actually have my minor in ceramic arts. I don't think a lot of people know that about me, but I am a ceramicist."
Madison Parks is a San Diego-based Web3 innovator and ceramic artist, working with wallets, NFTs, MC’ing live events, and Zcash.
Madison Parks was a college student working full time to put herself through school. She was not sure what career path to take, but she did know that she was passionate about people-to-people communication and art. After college, she moved to San Diego and stumbled into Web3. She learned about crypto and ended up working at Edge, a self-custody exchange platform. She found that she was passionate about making crypto simple and secure for beginners. Madison started an art project, Unique Earth, on OpenSea featuring her own art based on animals in the Earth. She created four collections with 52 pieces in total. Her journey into Web3 has been an incredible and unexpected journey, but a journey that has taught her to say yes to new opportunities.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. What opportunities has Madison Parks taken on her journey to Web3?
2. What makes Edge Wallet unique from other self-custody platforms?
3. What advice does Madison have for those new to the Web3 space who are looking to invest in crypto?
