He's heavily into DeFi infrastructure, gaming projects, and many others. Outside of web3, he LOVES habit-building and playing Smash Ultimate (bet you can't beat his Bowser).
Ariel Banayan
Co-Founder
Ari is a disciplined, habits monster — from waking up every day at 4am, meditating, reading, and exercising, he prioritizes growth in his life. Habit Nest allows him to share what he learns through his own experience to others who also want to create positive change in their lives.

Jared Mathews
Artist
Jared is an artist of many trades ranging from story writing, character design, and 2D animation to name a few. What really gets him fired up in the morning is the unique opportunity to sit down, take out a pencil, and create characters that live and breath on the page. When he's not pursuing something creative, he enjoys the simple things in life.
Lori Grace

Lori is a professional wedding /extreme weather photographer who found success in sales of her art in the NFT space. Lori is now championing an empowerment movement in Web3 by elevating women and other underrepresented artists through her role as host of her own RugRadio show.
Amber Shae
Project Manager
Amber has been an enthusiastic user of the Habit Nest Morning Sidekick Journal for the past 4 years and shares her habit successes when advocating for ADHD and mental health. Discovering the NFT community in 2021 gave her the support, connections, and confidence needed to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a full time artist.
