All my life I’ve been a fierce force of imagination, persistence, and hard work: like a dragon hunting for gold. But instead of treasure, I’ve been searching for stories to tell and ways to make an impact.

Born in Belarus, I studied journalism in Bulgaria and worked in marketing in Russia, but storytelling has always been my true passion. I create narratives that allow people to explore fresh perspectives in a safe, immersive way.

As a queer, neurodivergent woman from a patriarchal country, I’m passionate about shedding light on complex topics through my work. Over the years, I’ve designed more than 100 LARP games, written 10+ original tabletop campaigns, and worked as a script supervisor on the short film Mein Name Akim (2024), which tells the story of transgender refugees in Germany.

During my MA in Serial Storytelling at IFS Cologne, I honed my skills across genres, working on solo projects as well as collaborating in Writers' Rooms.

Currently, I’m co-developing a visual novel game with a co-author as a passion project.

Now that I've completed my degree, I’m eager to bring my creativity to TV and gaming, crafting stories in both English and German.

Dragons never stop breathing fire. And neither do I, with an endless flow of ideas and stories I can’t wait to share.

I’m currently writing my first vertical series, and here’s my biggest takeaway so far:


🐲 Momentum is everything.

#Verticals don’t live in perfect structure or beautiful prose. They live in forward motion. Every scene has to pull the reader into the next one immediately without warm-ups or lingering. 

And that’s both the hardest and the most fun part.

You constantly ask yourself:
 👉 Does this end with a reason to keep scrolling?
 👉 Does this scene move, emotionally or plot-wise?
 👉 Can I afford to slow down here? (Usually no)

It’s intense, slightly addictive, and weirdly liberating. Once you lock into the rhythm, the story starts running on its own momentum.

Narrative designer and screenwriter ▶️ Let's create stories that make an impact

Finishing my first #vertical rom-com sample taught me one thing very clearly: you don’t write episodes from the beginning. You write them from the cliffhanger. 🙂 


In verticals, the ending isn’t a nice wrap-up. It’s the engine. Every episode has to land on a moment that reframes what we just saw, emotionally, romantically, or comedically, and makes the next episode unavoidable.
So instead of asking, “How does this episode start?” I started asking, “What’s the last thing I want the viewer to feel?” 

💡 Once the cliffhanger is clear, the rest of the episode snaps into place. Scenes suddenly know how long they’re allowed to be. Dialogue stops rambling. Every beat either pushes toward that final turn or it gets cut.

Writing verticals this way changed how I think about structure in general.
Endings first. Then precision. Then mercy for nothing that doesn’t earn its place. In most of the cases, if the cliffhanger works, the episode works. Everything else is just scaffolding.

🐲 Ever wondered why some audio games pull you in instantly, and others just sound like long audiobooks with buttons?

It’s rarely a tech problem. It’s almost always a writing problem.
That’s why I’m running a live masterclass on writing for audio interactive games, and it’s built as a write-along session, not a lecture. 

What we’ll do together:
- Start with a simple inner pitch and turn it into a playable audio scene
- Learn how to write stories that work without visuals, using sound, silence, and pacing
- Craft dialogue that actually survives being spoken aloud
- Design micro-choices that create emotional pressure instead of fake branching
- Learn how to ask the right questions that drive interactive audio forward
- Break down the most common mistakes in audio interactive writing, and fix them with less text 

We’ll also explore TWIST, the interactive audio engine by EarReality, and how it makes writing for audio easy, intuitive, and exciting, even if you’re not technical.

You’ll leave with:
- A playable audio micro-scene you wrote during the session
- A repeatable way of thinking about interactive audio writing
- Clear next steps to continue developing your story

This is for you if you’re:
- A writer curious about games but focused on story
- A narrative designer moving into audio
- An audio drama creator exploring interactivity
- A creator looking for new storytelling formats

📝 Come ready to write. This is a write-along interactive session.
Event details & registration are below 👇

Audio interactive games are not audiobooks. They are not podcasts with choices. And they don’t work if you “just write good dialogue.”

This live masterclass is a writing-first, hands-on session focused entirely on how stories change when they are written for ears, choice, and listener agency. We are not talking about game mechanics or coding. We are talking about writing — and how to rethink it for interactive audio.

📝 Be ready to write a lot. And interact a lot. This masterclass is designed for people who learn by doing, not by watching slides.

Masterclass: Writing for Interactive Audio Games

One of the fastest ways to break immersion in an audio game is letting the protagonist know more than the player. 👾 


The moment that happens, intimacy is gone. 💀 
Audio works because it’s close. Personal. Almost conspiratorial. The player is inside the character’s head. And that only works when discovery happens together.

Shared ignorance is powerful.

When neither the player nor the protagonist knows what’s behind the door, every sound matters. Every pause carries weight. Every choice feels risky, not because it’s complex, but because it’s unknown.

From a narrative design perspective, this changes how you structure information:
🐲 Exposition becomes something you earn, not something you dump
🐲 Revelations land harder because they surprise both sides
🐲 Trust forms between player and character; you’re figuring it out together

The opposite is also true. If the protagonist casually hints at knowledge the player doesn’t have (“You already know why this is bad…”), the player is suddenly outside the story, trying to catch up instead of living it.

In audio, dramatic irony is a luxury you rarely need. Alignment beats cleverness.

👉 Design your stories so the player and protagonist learn, doubt, and panic at the same pace. That’s where audio stops being a format and becomes an experience.

#NarrativeDesign #AudioGames #StoryArchitecture

Audio games are often designed as one-time experiences. 


You listen, you move forward, you reach an ending. The format is intimate and linear, so replayability is usually not the goal. 
👉 But it could be.

Replayability in audio doesn’t mean adding more branches or content. It means designing for a new understanding.

If you want a second playthrough to feel rewarding, focus on how knowledge changes the experience:
🐲 Early lines that seem insignificant
🐲 Casual remarks or offhand comments that only gain meaning once the player knows what’s coming
🐲 Consistent NPC behavior

Characters don’t need twists, just logic. On replay, players start recognizing patterns that were always there. 
👉 Choices that don’t announce their importance
👉 Decisions that feel neutral at first, but quietly shape tone, trust, or outcomes later
👉 Consequences that echo instead of exploding
👉 Subtle shifts rather than obvious feedback

The difference becomes clear only in comparison.

If a second playthrough doesn’t make the player notice what they missed the first time, the story was built to be consumed, not discovered. And audio, of all formats, benefits the most from discovery.

Do you replay audio games at all?

#AudioGames #InteractiveStorytelling

In audio games, choices aren’t just content. 
👉 They’re mechanics.


“Open the door.” “Crack the door quietly.” “Kick the door in.”
Same action. Completely different game.

The phrasing doesn’t just describe behavior, it tells the player how to feel about the choice. Safe. Careful. Aggressive. Desperate. Confident. Panicked.

That’s why writing choices is a design task, not just a writing one.
When I work on audio narratives, I think about:
🐲 What emotional tone does this phrasing signal?
🐲 Does it invite caution or recklessness?
🐲 Does it frame the player as in control or reacting under pressure?
🐲 Does it suggest consequences without spelling them out?

The player isn’t only choosing what to do. They’re choosing how they are doing it and who they are in this moment.

If your choices are all written in the same neutral voice, you’re flattening player agency, even if the branches are complex. In audio, wording is gameplay.

🎤 🎧 We’re back with a remastered version of our FREE webinar for authors, narrative designers, voice actors, podcasters, and brand marketers who want to understand how interactive audio actually works – and how to create it. 🕹️

So we fine-tuned it, added more concrete examples, and are doing Round 2: Remastered.

What we’ll cover this time:

✅ TWIST Engine – Updated Intro
A clear walkthrough of the tool we use to build interactive audio stories (with more focus on what storytellers and voice actors really need to know).

How self-publishing, collaborations, and monetization work on the platform – and what that means for you as a creator or performer.

✅ Practical Listening + Workflow Demo
We start with ~30 minutes of listening to an interactive audio story, then break down exactly how it was created step by step.

If you want to:
create interactive audio yourself,
evaluate the format for professional use, or
explore future publishing & royalty opportunities as a creator or voice actor,
…this webinar gives you the essentials in one session.

Flowcharts are great. They tell you what happens in the game.
👉 But audio players don’t navigate through logic. 


They navigate through emotion.
They stay because they’re tense. They leave when that tension flattens.
That’s why, when designing audio games, I think in emotional curves before plot structure:
👾 Where does anxiety peak?
👾 Where does the player finally breathe?
👾 When does curiosity replace fear?
👾 Where does silence do more work than dialogue?

This directly affects architecture:
🐲 High emotional intensity = fewer choices, tighter scenes
🐲 Low intensity = space for exploration or reflection
🐲 Too many branches at an emotional peak = cognitive overload
🐲 No emotional variation = disengagement

If your emotional intensity stays on one level for too long, the player’s brain checks out, no matter how good the writing is. 

So yes, map your plot. But also map how it feels to listen minute by minute. Because in audio, emotion is navigation.

🐲 Audio games shine when they tap into instinct. 


Fear. Curiosity. Trust. Suspicion. That split-second feeling of “this feels wrong” or “I should follow this voice.” 

💀 What they don’t do well?
Turning into memory exams.

If a good outcome depends on recalling a name, a code, or a tiny detail from 20 minutes ago, you’re fighting the format. Audio isn’t built for note-taking. It’s built for presence.

Instead, strong audio choices are designed around:
🐲 Emotional recognition (“This voice feels unsafe.”)
🐲 Pattern sensing (“This keeps happening when I trust them.”)
🐲 Narrative logic (“They warned me about this kind of room.”)

That way, even if the player doesn’t remember the exact detail, they still feel like they made a meaningful choice, not a random guess.

Good audio design doesn’t ask: “Did you remember?”
It asks: “What does your gut tell you right now?”

That’s where audio becomes powerful.

#NarrativeDesign #AudioGames

Quick reminder: our free EarReality webinar is happening tomorrow 🎧


If interactive audio has been sitting on your “sounds cool but how does it actually work?” list, this one’s for you. We’ll talk tools, storytelling, and the business side (yes, the part where you can actually publish and monetize).

🐲 Expect practical insights, real examples, and no unnecessary fluff.

10 rules I’m following to grow my LinkedIn account in 2026…

↳ No pressure.
↳ No gatekeeping.
↳ Just clarity and consistency.

Here’s what I’ve committed to 👇

1️⃣ I’m getting painfully clear about my audience

♥︎ If I try to speak to everyone, no one listens.

2️⃣ I audit & optimize my page on the 1st of every month

♥︎ Your profile is never “done.”

3️⃣ I block 1 hour daily for engagement
Not scrolling.

♥︎ Building real relationships.

4️⃣ I sell without sounding cringe

♥︎ Value first. Trust always.

5️⃣ I set one clear goal per month

♥︎ Not vibes. Direction.

6️⃣ I talk about wins and failures

♥︎ Because perfection doesn’t connect honesty does.

7️⃣ I use hashtags & keywords (yes, they work)

♥︎ LinkedIn can’t push what it can’t understand.

8️⃣ I stop waiting to feel motivated

♥︎ Showing up creates momentum, not the other way around.

9️⃣ I reconnect with old followers

♥︎ Growth isn’t always new people. Sometimes it’s re-introductions.

🔟 I share what works — no gatekeeping

♥︎ If I learn it, you’ll learn it too.

2026 is not about doing more.

It’s about doing the right things consistently.

💭 Which rule are you committing to this year?

The type of content that got me the most followers on LinkedIn

It wasn’t trends.
It wasn’t posting every day.
It wasn’t sounding “professional.”

What actually worked surprised me.

The content that brought the most followers was honest + useful.

Here’s what that looked like:

👉 Posts where I shared what I was figuring out in real time

👉 Lessons from mistakes I didn’t hide

👉 Simple tips explained like I was talking to a friend

👉 Stories that made people think, “Wait… that’s me.”

👉 Content that helped someone today, not someday

The moment I stopped trying to impress
and started trying to connect,
people stayed.

Followers don’t come from perfection.
They come from relevance.

If you’re struggling to grow, ask yourself:

Would I stop scrolling for this?

If no, fix that Asap.

How To Actually Build Your Personal Brand on LinkedIn….

(and achieve the things you came here for)

Let’s clear something up:

Your personal brand isn’t your logo.

⇲ It’s not your colors.
⇲ It’s not posting every day.

Your brand is what people think of the moment they see your name.

For example:

When you think of Blossom Affia , you think visibility + consistency — calm, beautiful energy, queen-in-glasses vibes ✨😍

When you think of Justin Welsh , you think building your life without selling your soul.

That’s branding.

Now, here’s what actually works 👇

1️⃣ Decide what you want to be known for

If people can’t describe you in one sentence, neither can LinkedIn.

2️⃣ Build a profile that does the talking

Your page should say who you help and why you matter — instantly.

3️⃣ Share what you’re learning, not just what you know

Growth in real time is magnetic.

4️⃣ Be consistent, but stay human

People don’t follow calendars. They follow connection.

5️⃣ Engage like relationships matter (because they do)

Your brand grows in conversations, not silence.

6️⃣ Tell your story — even the imperfect parts

That’s where trust is built.

7️⃣ Stay long enough for people to believe you

Personal branding isn’t fast. It’s intentional.

♥︎ Build trust first.
♥︎ Everything else follows.

If you want to go deeper into how to build your personal brand..

I'm the Social Media Manager you need 🩷

I surprised myself in 2025, and my late mom would be proud ♥︎🕊

Growing up, both my parents were academics.

🎓Professors. PhDs. Lecturers.

Out of 8 children, my mom chose me.

She always said:
“You will be a teacher.”

And every time she said it, I internally rejected it.

⇲ Why me?
⇲ Why teaching?

Why this title?

I didn’t like it.
I pushed it away.
I didn’t understand it.

Fast forward years later…

I started my career as a social media manager.

Helping businesses. 
Building audiences. 
Creating strategies.

Then something kept happening.

People started asking questions.
A lot of questions.

“How did you start?”

“How do I become a social media manager?”

“Can you guide me?”

“Can you mentor me?”

And no matter how busy I was…
I always explained.

In detail.
Patiently.
With passion.

By 2024–2025, my DMs were full.

Still, I said no to mentoring.
I didn’t want to make it official.

Until a colleague said something that stopped me:

“You’re already mentoring.

You’re just doing it for free and pretending it’s not a thing.”

That hit me 🫢

I wasn’t avoiding mentoring 
I was avoiding the title.

So I looked inward.

And that’s when it clicked.

Mentoring.
Teaching.

Passing knowledge.
That is teaching.

I launched my first mentorship program in 2026, and the feedback shocked me.

Not because I doubted myself…

But because I finally accepted who I was becoming.

That’s when my sister laughed and said:

“You’re literally doing what mom told you to do.”

And she was right.

✨I didn’t hate teaching.
✨I hated the label.

Today, I’m no longer cringing😅

I’m grateful.

Because sometimes, the thing you resist the most

Is the thing you’re meant to do.

🤍

If you want to become a social media manager…

And you’re looking for real guidance, not gatekeeping 

My mentorship is open.

👉Comment “MENTORSHIP” and I’ll DM you the details.

💬 Have you ever become the very thing you once rejected?

🔁 Repost this if it resonates, someone might need this today.

Some lessons take years to understand.
And that’s okay.
