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.
