May 22 | Invite Only Creator Mixer

At 16, I picked up my first DSLR camera. It was an old hand-me-down, but it opened up a world I never knew existed. From capturing sunsets to random street shots, that’s when I realized photography was my happy place.

Two years later, I took a leap and started my Instagram page. No fancy content, just a girl sharing her world. Little did I know that what started as a hobby would grow into something much bigger — connecting with thousands of people who shared my love.

This was a game-changer. I was 20 when I landed my first paid gig with a local brand that saw potential in my content. It wasn’t just about the money; it was the moment I realized I could turn my passion into a career.

At 22, I branched out beyond Instagram, launching my YouTube channel and blog. This was the year I became a full-fledged content creator, sharing not just pretty pictures but stories, guides, and tips that helped my community.

I hit the big 1M on Instagram! This was such a surreal moment. I celebrated with my dog Francis, of course, who has been a huge part of my journey (and content). That milestone opened doors to collaborations with global brands and solidified my spot in the world of content creators.

Last year, I decided to take my brand to the next level by launching my own line of merch. From design to production, it was a crazy learning experience, but seeing people wear something I created? Pure magic.
