Me

Welcome to 🌵 Growthlog, my (b)log of life and work experiments.

Hi! 👋 I'm Tomas. I'm a founder, marketer, designer, and writer from Lithuania, based in Alicante, Spain documenting my journey as a remote worker and co-founder of Best Writing.

This year, I'm focusing on turning Best Writing into a profitable business (aiming for $10K MRR), relaunching this blog and dunking a basketball. 🏀

I'm 31, ENTJ, Enneagram Type 8, Thinker. Here's what I'm up to right now.
