nice to meet you!

Lily always knew that art would be the motivation that guided her through life from a young age, and with the inspiration she gained from her experiences of watching film as a child, it was inevitable that her fate would become filmmaking. As she grew up in a non-traditional home with a single parent, she learned the values of adaptability and perseverance in the face of adversity, which has in turn made her resourceful in both her adulthood and creative pursuits.

 

As an autistic biracial and queer individual, she has a strong ambition to represent marginalized and underserved communities through the medium of film, as well as in her fantasy-inspired illustrations. Lily recently completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Film at Portland State University in March 2022, and has been spending her free time working on local independent films in both the Art and Camera departments. Recently, she has had the opportunity to work in collaboration for production companies such as A24, TEDx and TLC, as well as contribute to the pre-production of other short films.

 

When she's not watching films or working on her projects, Lily can be found crafting, traveling, and playing video games.
