The Creator

Started creating because I wanted my own creative outlet. Turned it into a decade-long love story with content, cameras, and captions.

The lore, chronologically

◆ chronically online since dial-up
  1. Chino Hills
    Where it started

    Grew up in Chino Hills, California. The original return flight — the constant behind every era of moving.

  2. 2001–ish
    Neopets, RuneScape, MySpace, Tumblr

    Learned and practiced HTML on Neopets and MySpace. Tumblr taught me taste. Biologically millennial, spiritually Gen Z.

  3. 2000s
    Raised on Bratz, Lizzie, Hannah, My Scene

    The original mood boards. Outfit-planning like a computer game since day one.

  4. 2016
    Became a digital creator

    Started creating because I wanted my own creative outlet, not someone else's brief.

  5. 2021
    New York year

    Lived in NYC for a year, then back to Chino Hills to reset.

  6. 2022–2023
    Los Angeles chapter

    Moved to LA in September 2022 through October 2023. Back to home base after.

  7. 2025
    Paris, mostly

    Basically lived in Paris for the majority of the year. Baguettes, wine, and falling in love.

  8. 2026
    San Francisco, officially

    Officially moved to SF — the permanent home base, it literally says so on my ID. Creative + operations, in one person. Currently learning French. Bien sûr.

Also true

31 countries visited. 30 before 30, on the record.

Ran the 2025 LA Marathon — 26.2 miles, one very good playlist, zero regrets.

GIVE ME A COMFORT REWATCH (GG OR TSITP) WITH A SWEET TREAT AND I'M HAPPY.

My love language is a well-written romance novel and a spicy chapter.

PROFESSIONAL SWIFTIE AND PINTEREST PRINCESS.

DIY builder gel nails at home — long story short, I survived.
