Willa Marie Nolan: The AR Alchemist Who Turned Wanderlust Into Code 🌍✨

Once upon a time, in a tiny apartment with a broken AC and a dream bigger than the Wi-Fi bill, I—Willa Marie Nolan—decided to burn my corporate shackles and build a world where pixels and passports collide. This is not your typical "girlboss" story. This is a dumpster fire turned fireworks show. 🎆

Chapter 1: The Escape (or, How I Got Fired for Daydreaming in 3D)

Picture this: 22 years old, fresh out of uni with a degree in "What Even Is Reality?" (okay, fine, Computer Science), stuck in a cubicle at a tech giant that thought "innovation" meant adding more buttons to spreadsheets. One Tuesday, during another soul-crushing meeting about synergy, I doodled an augmented-reality dragon perched on my boss’s head. They saw it. I got fired. Best. Day. Ever. 🐉💥

Chapter 2: The Hustle (or, Eating Ramen in Bali While Coding AR Filters)

With $500 and a laptop older than my ex’s excuses, I became a digital nomad rogue. Slept in hostels where the Wi-Fi was stronger than the locks. Coded AR filters for influencers who paid me in exposure and occasionally cash. One viral filter ("Glow-in-the-Dark Mermaid Tears", don’t @ me) later—boom. Clients. Contracts. Chaos.

Fun fact: My first "office" was a hammock in Thailand. The second was a literal dumpster (free Wi-Fi nearby). #GrindNeverLookedSoGood 😏

Chapter 3: The Breakthrough (or, Why My AR App Now Funds My Skydiving Addiction)

2023: Launched WanderLens AR—an app that overlays hidden travel stories onto real-world landmarks. Think Google Maps meets Indiana Jones. Investors called it "too niche." Joke’s on them—it’s now the secret tool for every travel influencer worth their salt. 💎

Latest flex: Partnered with a certain luxury airline to turn their safety videos into interactive AR adventures. Yes, you can now swim with sharks mid-flight. You’re welcome. ✈️🦈

Why Follow Me?

• I don’t sugarcoat the entrepreneurial rollercoaster. (Spoiler: It’s mostly puking.)
• My AR tutorials are 70% tech, 30% stand-up comedy.
• I’ll never post a "5 AM routine" unless it involves missing my flight and crying in an airport bathroom.

Current mood: Coding from a floating bungalow in the Maldives because revenge success tastes like coconut water. 🥥🔥

P.S. Slide into my DMs for collabs, or just to argue about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. (It does.)
