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
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
