Best next moves
Confirm The Curatorial Collector ownership
The strongest next step is to verify whether Haydin Davis is publicly named as the owner or author of The Curatorial Collector on a website or newsletter. That would tighten attribution beyond LinkedIn alone.
Validate the Instagram candidate
The Instagram search result looks likely, but it is still only an indirect match. Checking the bio, photo, and outbound links would show whether it belongs to the same person.
Review weak Facebook name matches
Several Facebook results share the name, but they lack context. They should stay unlinked unless they show Baylor, NYU, or The Curatorial Collector.
