Where are you from: Vancouver.
Where do you get your style inspiration: From my moods and the seasons.
Describe your style: I cant! It always changes, but I really like basics and classics. Ive never been a fan of trends because they fade.
Proudest accomplishment: Getting my photography published in a book this summer and at two art galleries, where my prints have been sold. But I think, over all, we have little victories and accomplishments every day in our life.
