Growing up, I was always reading books. Most of the time, I would stay up until 4 am to finish a 400 page book in a day because I couldn't put it down. I also grew up painting, writing short stories, and making horrible clay creations. I quickly realized I am better suited at creating art "digitally" rather than making art in real life.


I spent most of my teen years watching Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects tutorials at 12am on school nights. And as corny as it sounds, I didn't care how tired I was the next day because it got me closer to doing something I very much loved.

When it came down to choosing a career path, I was heavily debating becoming a book writer as I was engulfed in fiction books and loved the idea of telling stories in that form. However, I was also drawn to film and photography. The idea of being able to tell a story through visual elements as opposed to telling it in a written form was so intriguing to me.

I ended up pursuing my love for storytelling and film by going to film school where I studied directing, cinematography and post-production. Taking this path helped me combine my love for books and visual storytelling into one career path.


Shortly after graduating, I started working in the commercial, film, and TV industries in Vancouver while also doing creative photoshoots with local modelling agencies on the weekends.
