I’m a researcher, storyteller, educator, and strategist with a passion for making complex ideas accessible. My work spans ethnographic research, journalism, teaching, and creative content production.

Through my PhD in Urban Studies at King’s College London, I study how London’s Hasidic Jewish community navigates multiculturalism, Zionism, and religious orthodoxy. I also lead seminars in critical geography, exploring themes like territory, space, and power, and regularly present my research at conferences.

As a journalist I write about communities, religion, and identity for publications including Vitttles 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. I’ve also written on Israeli propaganda, Anti-Zionism, and contemporary politics.

In the tech world, I’ve led the content strategy for Outlier Ventures — the largest Web3 investor — 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 many 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 martin.saps@kcl.ac.uk.
