I’m a simple girl, with a quiet, magical life. On Vancouver Island, a temperate oasis, we live intertwined with nature - swimming in the crisp, cold lakes, combing the many beaches for botanical treasures, learning and growing alongside our garden, and basking in the wonder of our ancient forests.

I graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Art, and a certificate in Adobe Design Suite.

I’ve worked as a commercial/ wedding videographer, a web/graphic designer, a brand creator, a photographer, and a content creator. I’ve worked with big brands like Lancome, Guess, and Hudson Bay, Kleinfeld’s, I’ve done it all. Now I focus my energy on intimate, custom projects for clients who value timeless beauty, slow living, and heritage craftsmanship.

Mahale is the name we gave our home - a combination of “mahal” (Hindu for palace) and “hale” (Hawaiian for house.) It was the perfect name for my in-home creative studio.
