Whistler through my lens. 📸

Last year, I spent a month working remotely in California, and this time, I chose to stay local and soak up the inspiration right here in Whistler. 🏔️

The weather was stunning, which made it easy to enjoy both work and play. ☀️

From cozy mornings working in my suite at the Pan Pacific to afternoons spent exploring new restaurant spots, chatting with locals and breathing in the mountain air, this trip was full of moments I’ll never forget.

I created amazing memories and came back recharged with a fresh perspective.

Not lucky, just working hard toward my goals and building a business that allows space for this kind of freedom.

Client: Look at this reel we need to recreate!
SMIJ Marketing: laughs, no stress

Sure, we’ll just summon a drone, hire 12 actors, book a beach at golden hour, and make it go viral by Tuesday. Easy. 😅

Quick, witty, fun. If this is your vibe, please reach out.

My first ever speaking gig… and it was for a class of MBA students at University Canada West. 🗣️

They’re doing a case study on my business, SMIJ Marketing and Media.

Now here’s the thing, I don’t love public speaking, but when you’ve built something from the ground up, you become pretty passionate about it.

I ended up speaking for a full hour, sharing what I’ve learned about marketing and entrepreneurship, and honestly, it felt so natural to pour into the next generation of business leaders.

The students left inspired with so many thoughtful questions, and I’ll be working with them until September with a virtual Q&A next week.

Grateful for opportunities like this and excited to see what comes next.

Thank you to Hassan for your mentorship and guidance, and for challenging me with the tough questions I didn’t know I needed.

If you’re looking for a guest speaker to talk about marketing, entrepreneurship, or building a creative business from the ground up, I’d love to connect.

The subject line read “Vegas Opportunity,” and I had to read it twice 👀

I fully believe I manifested this. From the moment that email hit my inbox to actually stepping into Mandalay Bay, the entire experience felt surreal.

A huge thank you to Vicki Yu. From the emails to executing a seamless plan to get me to Vegas, you truly made this happen. Watching you on that BIG stage and seeing you win your awards, checking in on me between moments and dancing to the camera while I filmed your energy is something else.

Flying solo was a little nerve-wracking, but the team was so welcoming and kind. Between gala night, team dinners, late-night chats, the breakout meeting, and the qualifiers dinner, I got to witness the passion behind it all.

And yes, I even soaked in a solo pool day and quiet moments in my hotel room at Mandalay Bay while the team attended sessions and listened to the keynote speakers.

This trip was one for the books, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead for our working relationship.

If you’re planning an event and want content that captures the energy, the emotion and every in-between moment, I’d love to work with you. Let’s make it unforgettable.

And hey, at the end of the day, when the CEO tells you you should join the company, I must have done something right lol.

Let’s talk pricing 💬

I haven’t raised my rates in 3 years. Starting September 1, my pricing for social media management and event content creation will increase to reflect the time, care, and strategy I pour into every project.

This change will not affect current clients; you’re locked in and covered.

If we’ve connected in the past or you’ve been thinking about working together, now is the time to secure your spot and lock in current rates. Any previous quotes will no longer be valid after September 1, 2025.

If thoughtful, intentional marketing is what you’re looking for, I’m here. If I have sent you a quote, send me an email to secure your rate. I’m looking forward to working with you.
