Hi, I’m Emma Kriskinans, a creative trapped in the body of a Type A personality based in Valencia, Spain.
Things that have been said about - and to - me:
You do too much
You care too much
You should believe in yourself more
And more recently: Why “Scrambled Eggs”? (More on that later…)
For the last fifteen years I’ve channelled that doing, caring, creative energy into the world of business, cutting my teeth in some of the world’s biggest B2B brands, before spending the last seven building marketing at million-dollar tech leader Tyk. A keen adventurer, I moved from my native UK to Singapore in 2015, before moving back to Europe just as the pandemic hit. I now live in Valencia, Spain where I continue to work for Tyk and am writing my first novel, a family drama.
But in 2021, I reconnected with a side of me that I thought was lost: my writer self.
In February 2023 I started this Substack as the next chapter in reconnecting with how I write. I can’t sell you any viral Substack success story. I have ‘good’ (ie prolific) months, and lazy ones. But this journey has helped me gain confidence in my voice and a fantastic community of fellow creatives.
If you’d like to be one of them, why not make my day and sign up?
What to expect from Scrambled Eggs?
A bit of everything I’m passionate about, which includes:
Good writing
The best of arts and culture (the low as much as the high)
Telling stories that are unknown or overlooked
Letting others know that YES THEY CAN DO THE HARD THING
Building community and safe spaces
And my focus for 2025: The Sixty-Minute Book Club
And yes. I do do too much.
So that’s why my newsletter is called Scrambled Eggs. It’s a mash-up of all the varied topics I find joy, curiosity - and yes, sometimes frustration, in.
It’s also a declaration. A manifestation of my Type A personality, and an overdue reclamation of my Creative side.
Welcome. It’s great to have you here.
