About me | Nicoleta Koronia

Hey,

There's a certain irony in trying to introduce myself in an About Me section. Real life gives you, "Hi, I'm [name], and I do [job]." That's it. No backstory, no context, no nuance. But here I am, writing a whole article about it.

Let's skip the grandstanding. I'm not here to sell you the perfect version of myself the one who's unlocked all the secrets of the universe and wins at everything, all while sipping an oat milk latte. That version lives in LinkedIn bios and overly polished TED Talks. I'm just Nicoleta Koronia.

I talk about what makes startups succeed, the ideas that make me stop and think about the world, and if you knew me in person we'd definitely have long, winding conversations about conspiracy theories. I'll leave that there… for obvious reasons.

They say the most honest version of you is the one others describe but for now, I'll give you mine.

Long story short:
I started as a designer. It didn't feel like enough. I craved the bigger picture the why, the intent, the motivation. I wanted to understand why things work and how they work.

Now, I write. Advice, opinions, experiences whatever I feel moved to say. Because when I feel something, I can't hold it in. I'm dying to dive deeper into intellectual conversations, and I believe it's completely fine to be MORE.
It's a constant evolution, a journey to keep expanding and exploring ideas.

Two years in Antwerp, Belgium changed me. I learned to adapt. Years of therapy grounded me. I got to know myself, which helped me better understand others. And above all, I learned to manage thoughts, behavior, perception. That's the grown-up magic trick no one teaches you.

Now, I write. Advice, opinions, experiences whatever I feel moved to say.

xoxo 😙
