ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in France. Early on, I developed a passion for photography and documentary film making. I started with recording artists in Paris, soon pursued an internship in Canada. When I was 22, I moved to Melbourne for a year to pursue a Masters in Media Studies from La Trobe. I loved Australia instantly.
The last 10 years have been an amazing learning experience. I finished a 4 year masters of Arts in the Philippines, worked at an ad agency TBWA and won a creative award for several projects. I then took a leap and partnered up with my co-founders, raised a seed round and built a production house from the ground up.
I am also a passionate CrossFit athlete. I participated in national competitions in the Philippines.
I love animals and volunteer in animal shelters during my free time. I rescued my two cats Jeepney and Waffle from the streets of Manila and they’re now living their best life in Paris.
