I’m an urban researcher and writer with expertise in how communities navigate technology, planning, and political change in the city. I am currently a final-year PhD student at King’s College, and my background spans the built environment, technology and investment sectors, where I’ve been a founder, strategist, and team leader.

As a journalist I write about communities, religion, and identity for publications including London Magazine, Vitttles, ARC Magazine, and Vashti Media. My narrative-driven pieces—such as my reported pieces on Latin markets and kosher food certification—focus on systemic analyses of communities and their struggles. My academic work has appeared in Q1 journals including Urban Studies, Cultural Geography, and Political Geography.

In the tech world, I’ve led the content strategy for Outlier Ventures, producing videos, podcasts, newsletters, and articles that bring clarity to topics like blockchain, AI, and emerging technologies. Prior to that I co-founded ArtSect NFT Gallery, a VC-backed creative space and agency in 2021. I’ve also consulted for startups and protocols in the AI, Web3, and Fintech space.

If you’re looking for a researcher, educator, or strategist to help tell compelling stories, I’d love to collaborate. Reach me at martinfsaps@gmail.com
