THE STORY

I came home from a trip with hours of footage, one song stuck in my head, and absolutely no idea how to edit a video.

Six months later, I had taught myself enough to turn that trip into a four-minute film.

Inspired by Kygo’s Remind Me to Forget, I shaped the footage into a story about the moments that change us when we step outside the familiar.

What began as a personal project eventually gave me the confidence to leave my corporate job and pursue storytelling beyond traditional advertising.

My friend and I quit our jobs, set off to see more of the world, and found thousands of women following along with our story on social media.

Since then, I’ve gone on to create more than 1000s of videos, direct campaigns, and build a career around the craft this film first pushed me to learn.

Somewhere along the way, I even met Kygo. Twice.

Years, thousands of videos, and countless creative projects later, I’m still proud to share this film. It holds the moment I started following what I loved before I had any idea where it would lead.

Turns out, when you follow the thing you love, sometimes it follows you back.

This one is for the stories we get to tell as creators.
