I love documenting the everyday, the quiet moments, the in-between scenes, and my travel experiences and turning them into cinematic moving postcards.

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines and I’ve been living in Vancouver for almost 11 years.

My go-to spot is Ramen Danbo. It’s my comfort place. Simple, consistent, and always hits the spot. No matter how busy things get, a good bowl of ramen there just resets everything.

Going on photowalk with friends, trying out new cafes or going for some local adventures and filming postcards.

Right now, I’m focused on pouring energy into my creative passions and building a stronger community around them. I’m especially excited about growing busycreatives — a space where like-minded creatives can connect, collaborate, and push each other to create more intentionally.

More people should know about busycreatives. We built it to be a safe, supportive space for artists and creatives who genuinely want to work on projects, share ideas, and grow together. It’s not just networking, it’s about real collaboration, creative accountability, and having fun while doing what we love.

Create more. Share more. Don’t wait until you feel “ready.” Vancouver has so much talent and creativity, lean into it, support each other, and don’t be afraid to take up space with your art.
