Hi, I'm Adeen.
I find systems interesting. How growth happens, how the body keeps itself going, what heat does to food. This site is where I keep what I'm working on and thinking about.
Now
What I'm spending my time on at the moment.
- Writing: an essay on memory. The piece on smoke comes after.
- Cooking: a Halloween menu, with a Nigerian twist on some of the dishes.
- Studying: finishing philosophy, then medicine and molecular genetics.
- Working: building a growth research practice. I'm also open to growth roles.

Writing
I write about whatever I'm thinking about. Sometimes that's how the body works, sometimes it's an anomaly I can't explain, food, or the financial system.
- On memoryThe self, dementia, and how what we remember changes how we treat people. Writing it now.
- Everything BurnsWhat smoke does to the body, from cigarettes and vapes to shisha, weed and burnt food. Next.
Finished pieces go up on my Substack, Two Decade Child.
Kitchen
I film food and try to make it feel cinematic. I'm also developing my own recipes, based on what I've learned about how ingredients behave.
The account is called recipes archivist. You can watch on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
Study
I'm finishing a bachelor's in philosophy. Next, I'm switching to medicine and molecular genetics.
Much of what goes wrong in the human body can be traced back to cells and genes. That's the level I want to work at: why a genetic mutation forms, and how it can be reversed or edited.
I want to practise as a clinician who also develops new procedures from that understanding.
Work
I've worked in growth for about five years. I started in sales at 2Sure, opening up new markets. In crypto, I did content and growth at Sherpa, co-led Monad Nigerianad, and worked on growth at Touchmarket.
I care about understanding growth from first principles, meaning what actually makes something spread. If you understand that well enough, you can engineer it.
Right now I'm building a growth research practice, and I'm open to growth roles. You can see my work in detail.
Notes
Whatever I'm thinking about or studying, pinned as I go.
