About Me
I’m an artist interested in creating content that pushes my creative boundaries. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from Massey University, where I focused on expressionist portraiture and exhibitions, I bring a strong skill set in both creative production and collaboration.
Over the past two years, I have focused on content creation, producing comedic reels and aesthetic posts to promote a coffee business. I enjoy creating in ways that connect with people and leave a meaningful impact.
