Rowan Blake
Rowan Blake is a writer, strategist, and quiet rebel in the world of digital culture. With a background in media, design, and systems thinking, Rowan explores how modern creators can navigate visibility without losing their voice.Their work focuses on the intersection of technology and humanity-how algorithms shape behavior, how attention is captured and spent, and what it takes to stay grounded in a landscape that rarely stops moving.
Rowan writes for creators, entrepreneurs, and curious minds who care less about chasing trends and more about building something real. With a style that's reflective, sharp, and deeply personal, Rowan's books and essays help readers rethink the cost of constant optimization-and imagine more sustainable, meaningful ways to create and connect.
Outside of writing, Rowan consults for values-driven startups, reads everything from neuroscience to speculative fiction, and occasionally disappears offline to recalibrate.
