Who Am I?
As a queer child of Romanian immigrants, I found myself thinking about my place in the world a lot. I can confidently say that continuous education, expression through art and deep connection were key to getting me where I am now.
I am no stranger to challenging situations in life so I aim to consider stories of marginalised communities, topics like mental health, diversity and sustainability in my work.
Because I really care!
My Mindset
I approach things with curiosity, kindness and plenty of humour.
I’m also into the minimalist mindset and enjoy the simpler things in life.
Me In The Wild
The only way to find your voice is to use it. — Austin Kleon
Caw, Caw!
I’m a bird feeder, specifically crows — who have not only recognized me but have started tackling me when I show up empty-handed.
Give it a few years, and I might just have my own personal crow army to maybe take over the world!
Brick By Brick
Game Over
I have a deep love for card and board games. Winning is great, but causing absolute chaos? Even better.
Whether it’s strategizing my next move in a game or piecing together the perfect edit, I’m all about creativity, fun, and maybe just a little bit of mischief.
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and a 100% reason to remember my name!
— Mike Shinoda
