Core Zibblers
Apurva Sawant-Gad
A teacher with a deep love for the folktales, traditions and hidden histories of Goa that rarely make it into the mainstream. She tells the stories of a Goa that exists far from how it's usually romanticised or reduced, and she does it with a lot of heart.
CULTURE KEEPER
Chayne Lobo
Chayne Lobo chases raw, authentic feeling through photography and videography, believing that if his work doesn't make him feel something real, it's not worth sharing. You'll usually find him favouring black and white, with a morally grey sense of humour thrown in for good measure.
SOUL CHASER
David Noronha
David is a game designer who sees the world through the lens of design, bringing a sharp creative eye and a strategic mind to everything he touches. He's the kind of person who makes events run smoother, rooms feel better and ideas feel more possible, all while keeping everyone around him laughing.
DESIGN THINKER
Divya Desai
Divya Desai created Zibbl as a space for stories about Goa told with meaning and emotion rather than brevity or conformity. Despite a frozen shoulder and a reluctant wrist, she shows up every single time, long hours and full heart.
FOUNDING ZIBBLER
Ethan Maskie
Ethan is a speed chaser at heart, drawn to Formula 1 and photography for the very same reason: both are about catching something before it disappears. He approaches the camera as a way to slow time down and hold a feeling still, just long enough to share it.
MOTION FREEZER
Melissa Fernandes
The editor who finds the human in every story, whether it's a trend, a poem or a fascinating fact she just couldn't keep to herself. She believes Goa deserves a dedicated platform for its creators and she's here, enthusiastically, to help build it.
STORY MAGNET
Rithika Gomes
Rithika Gomes is an artist, creative and art teacher who holds one belief above everything else: that art belongs to everyone, and anyone can be an artist. She brings that conviction into everything she does, from her teaching to her creative practice to the social causes she shows up for with genuine enthusiasm and an open heart.
ART DEMOCRATISER
Stenisa Saldanha
Stenisa Saldanha is the kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever, and then channels that warmth into stories about the small businesses and people who hold communities together. She balances her CA ambitions with a camera and a genuine love for the world around her.
WARMTH WEAVER
Vince Costa
Vince Costa is the force behind Get Creative Goa and a pillar of the Goan creative community, having spent years spotlighting underground artists and building spaces where creative expression can truly breathe. Music is in his bones and whether he's exploring audio storytelling or the forgotten knowledge passed down by elder artists, with Vince you don't just hear stories, you feel them.
SOUL AMPLIFIER
Every person who scribbles something emotional about Goa in any of our zibblets, becomes a zibbler by extension.
