I'm a passionate entrepreneur that fully embraces creativity in both my personal and professional life.
At the age of 22, I launched my first venture, Arastasia Photography, which has since evolved into a multi-faceted career.
(to somewhat summarize very colorful personality...)
These days, you'll see me photographing and live-painting weddings, creating murals, spreading inspiration through art, and encouraging others to pursue their dreams via my podcast, "Your Artsy Friend."

I have hundreds and hundreds of polaroids. They're my favorite way to document memories & have tangible proof of them

If you were to meet me in person or stumble upon me online, you might be surprised to learn that I haven't always been the enthusiastic and optimistic artist you see today. In fact, before I uncovered my love for photography and painting, I was on the verge of dropping out of high school, struggling with low self-esteem deep rooted in childhood trauma, and losing hope for a fulfilling future. However, once I discovered my creative passions, the seemingly impossible became attainable, and happiness was within reach.
