My career spans finance, executive search and consultancy. Investment banking took me from my hometown London to Boston, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Сфарда Л. Гюль

An artist and writer of pretentious purple prose since her early childhood brought up in a police state, Sfarda L. Gül’s (alias) creative focus hones in on the macabre and introspective, the grotesque and juxtaposing—a deconstruction of social ideology and human suffering influenced by her upbringing, queerness, historically persecuted mixed ethnicity, and dark-sided emotional disposition. Every story strives to be unapologetically anti-authoritarian, decolonial, anti-cop, anarchist, and pro-humanity.
When not engaging in art, Sfarda is enthralled in ethnography, linguistics, filmmaking, and social activism aiding to uplift ethnic and queer minorities of her native Eastern Europe, SWANA, and Central Asia.
