In 2018 she self-published her debut poetry collection titled "Nineteen" which became a 3x Amazon best-seller in 2019.

DIRECTOR
OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Ryan has over 6 years of production experience ranging from photo to video work. Though lacking in drawing and writing skills as a child, he gravitated to storytelling through the lens of the camera. As a 2nd Generation Asian immigrant, a career in the creative industry seemed difficult to justify - yet with a little persuasion and consistency, Ryan's been able to work with clients such as Unity, DECA Ontario, Chronic Ink Tattoos, and OMERS, eventually gaining support from his parents.
In hopes to one day penetrate the mainstream market with visual stories about Asian representation, Mixed Bowl Media is his starting point to bring the stories on screen as a DOP while using personal experiences to help nurture the show.
