Bio
​​I use dark fantasy and horror elements to explore difficult topics like abuse, personality disorders and disabilities which are my lived-in experiences. My stories usually has characters with disabilities & characters from the LGBTQIA community. I also make films where I work with cast and crew who has disabilities.​
​
In 2023, I made Singapore's first disability-led indie psychological horror which was widely mentioned in local & international press. The film, which was written, directed and produced by me, is currently in the festival circuit. In the same year, two of my short films which I also wrote, directed and produced won third place and a commendation prize in the Pokka Film Festival and the Iaminvisible film festival.
​
Some of my writing credits includes my article on depression being published in Readers Digest Asia and being the
editor-in-chief for LookBook, a fashion magazine, that raised funds for an AIDs charity in India.
I was a WriteMentor mentor in 2021 and 2022 and was very excited when my 2021 mentee, Soph Montgomery, became agented after the fabulous mentorship where I co-mentored with the fantastic Hannah Kates.
