This woman 🥰 She makes my life better!
We started with layers of self-done copper and in only one session (4 hours) we got this beautiful caramely blonde. The hair gods were with us that day!

From copper to blonde in one sitting! Color correction goals!
This smokin hottie is my friend @natheerav who lets me play in all the creative ways ❤️

There’s something special about seeing one’s work in print. I don’t get every magazine printed, but this project was very special, and personal to me.
Thank you, @le_desir_mag for the opportunity ❤️

Thank you for letting me be a part of your team.
Thank you @yhanson_photography for this shot ❤️
You have to plan a photoshoot and you don’t have time. Or maybe you don’t know where to start.
This is my job! As a creative director I will build the whole shoot, including the team.
Message me to talk about your vision. I’d love to work with you!

On the heels of @natheeravs debut show at @vanfashionweek, let’s keep her momentum going!
2 weeks prior to the show I directed a photoshoot to immortalize her collection. We had the insane privilege of shooting the garments in the @canadianmemorialunitedchurch, a neo-gothic cathedral.
Thank you @natheerav from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with this epic project. I can’t wait to watch you rise ❤️

On April 10th my incredibly talented friend @natheerav asked me to assist her team at @vanfashionweek where she showed her first collection as a featured designer.
Runway shows are sometimes only 8 min long, but getting there starts at 9am and doesn’t stop all day.
Enjoy this behind the scenes look at what backstage at an international runway show looks like 🎉

How many people does it take to create a runway show? Dozens! After months of planning, runway day starts at 8am and doesn’t stop until the show ends. There’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be than directing epic projects like these. Thank you to everyone involved ❤️

A couple weeks ago I had the immense privilege of directing @resistanceontherunway. I am in love with the teams of people I had the fortune to get to know. And bringing stories to life through performance is my whole jam!
This video is a compilation of designer @turath.mona heart and soul. The first of 5 designers I got to work with in the last few months.

How many people does it take to produce a photo shoot?!
BTS of “the old guard.” Here are the ones who’ve been holding the industry up for decades. Let’s celebrate 🎉
Every single person involved is so important that it couldn’t happen without a single body missing.
I can’t thank this whole team enough for their enthusiasm and trust.
