I WAS NEVER ONE TO KEEP MY KICKS CLEAN


I am the curious kid. The one who gets her hands dirty and asks one too many questions, reads one too many books and knows one too many random facts. I jump at every occasion to help, I spring into bizarre situations, I leap because if I fall, I know how to get back up.

My career was shaped in Tokyo. A city where I Iearned to adapt at the speed of light. A place that taught me the power of silence and the art of communicating without saying a thing.

My curiosity also extends to fun things, weird things and things that sometimes terrify me. I’m obsessed with 35 mm, I love my dog, I love grids, I love textures even more, I always sing, Tinder terrifies me, Techno used to terrify me, I love my mom, I’m a sucker for trivia, I speak seven languages, I believe in kindness and can’t imagine a world without the triangular bliss of a slice of pizza.

Now, for official purposes, I am an internationally awarded creative: an art director, budding film director and copywriter all in one.
