I am born creator who fell into the curse of the impostor syndrome, shrinking to fit into boxes trying to fit into the world. Over the last 3 years I have worked in finding myself and liberating my true artistic nature and venture into art direction and conceptual art and performance as a means to share my vision with the world.

This realisation allowed for a whole new way of expression and I am currently working on my first conceptual/performance art project with I hope to be sharing with the world this summer.
