Photography
As a child, I was surrounded by the art of documenting moments—my dad, likely inspired by his parents (who were both professional photographers in Toronto), was always behind the camera, capturing our family's adventures. I started taking photographs with a simple point-and-shoot Hello Kitty camera when I was in my early teens, then upgraded to a Fujifilm handheld digital camera, and later was gifted a Nikon DSLR from my grandpa when I started my first photography class in college. Still, after seven years of practicing photography, I continue to shoot with a Nikon as a tribute to my grandparents, who also used Nikon during their careers.
My documentarian approach to photography aims to showcase the beauty and abundance of our surroundings with a focus on natural compositions and colors.
Art & Graphic Design
After spending two years as a full-time van lifer, I was deeply inspired by the places I visited, which further ignited my passion as a creator. This led to the creation of V is for Visuals, where I currently experiment with various artistic styles via digital and mixed mediums.
