OPEN BLN is a Berlin-based creative collective rooted in empowerment, integrity, and community. Born from the desire to create an inclusive, resilient space for growth, we connect thinkers, mentors, and creators through shared knowledge and purposeful collaboration.

We believe mentorship is a force for change—where wisdom is shared, not gatekept. Our mission is to uplift underrepresented voices, challenge outdated systems, and build a future shaped by authenticity, equity, and collective strength.

As one of the two official Berlin City Chapter Leads, Vicky co-organizes and co-leads community events across Berlin, creating vibrant experiences that connect mentors and mentees in design, engineering, and product management. She is always eager to explore new ideas and collaborate with venues, speakers, panelists, food and tech sponsors, and like-minded community builders. Let’s connect and collaborate!
