I was born in Canada to a Burmese mother and an Indian father. I went to school in Toronto, traveled to over 40 countries, and lived in six of them. Everything I do is to entertain and empower people to be different.
My travels around the world have changed the way I think, the way I create art, and the way I fart in public.
I’m passionate about promoting and protecting the rights of children. When I’m not shooting portraits, I eat peanut butter straight from the jar and binge-watch Netflix.
