Jowella Lim

8+ years in growth and product marketing. 5+ of them onchain.

I make technical products legible to the people who move capital.

What currently holds my attention is payments and digital assets, and the rails being rebuilt underneath them.

Fascinated by technology. Went deep across the industry's biggest ecosystems, from Solana and Cosmos through to Ethereum infrastructure, and inside one of the world's largest exchanges.

I thrive in hard learning environments.

Synora, Co-founder

Synora is a Sydney studio for builders and trades. Most of them win work on reputation and have nothing online that backs it up. We build the thing that does.

Websites, capability statements, branding, local SEO, and the photo, video and drone content that fills them.

I run the business strategy, work across brand and content, and shoot on location.

  • 70+ builders and trades across NSW
  • 43 five-star Google reviews
  • Clients from Sydney to the Sutherland Shire, the North Shore and the Mid North Coast
