Melanie Cheng

Always on the go, catch me if you can

This is me

Born in the UK and after a brief five year stop in Berlin. I'm now based in Austria.


I've always been super active, which is why I moved to the mountains in the first place.
I love to be sending it downhill at the local bike park, paddleboarding, snowboarding or hiking the mountains with my dog (Seeka).


During the week I'm @KISKA leading a team of Creative technologists

In my spare time I'm busy either DJ'ing or running the she-dares community. I'm also a part time action sports coach and mindset coach.
