what is
this about?
Born from lived experience.
Throughout my career I’ve moved between full-time roles, gig assignments, and client work. I’ve been the one hired and the one doing the hiring. I’ve managed freelancers, partnered with fractional professionals, and lived inside the realities of flexible work from multiple sides.
Through it all, I kept wondering…
What happens to people after the gig, after the contract ends, the project wraps, the app goes quiet? Where’s the honest, ongoing record of short-term work and what it leaves behind over time?
The gap we’re filling.
Most existing research tells us who participates in gig work and what they earn. What’s missing is a consistent, ongoing dataset that captures lived experience, stability, growth, and long-term outcomes across this workforce.
Just as importantly, workers are rarely given anything back in return, no context, no reflection, no language for what their experience might signal.
What we’re building.
GigNtell turns real-world gig experiences into anonymous, comparable data. After participating, workers receive a brief, personalized summary that reflects patterns across their responses. Offering language and perspective on their experience.
Over time, as the dataset grows, those individual experiences combine to surface broader signals and trends that can inform research, reporting, and advocacy helping shape conversations about fairness, support, and sustainability in gig work.
So here’s to the late nights, the hard lessons, and the incredible people I’ve worked with along the way.
GigNtell is your space. Let’s tell the story together.
59% of gig workers rely on
gig work for at least half of
their income.
