Spotter since 2015

About me

I am a proud Canadian Montrealer and I moved to Milan way back in 2009. Officially, I moved for school but I was just looking for an excuse to travel the world and shoot pictures.

I am addicted to the ocean, I never skip breakfast and I rarely leave the house without a camera. If you are in the market for some new wall art check out my website for some fine art prints!

In Milan you can find me at all the best music shows in town or thrift store shopping with my pug Margot…

Why Milan
Come to think of it, it is probably the least Italian of all Italian cities. At first glance, tourists often tend to find it grey and chaotic.

Milan is a city that demands your attention, time and patience in order to be loved. Full of hidden corners, parks, fountains, charming coffee shops and innovative restaurants. Milan is a city that grows on you just like your favourite pair of ripped jeans and that is probably what I love the most about it!

Where else can you find me online?

Osaka

Osaka – Traditional Japanese experience in Milano

"Osaka" has been in Milan since 1999, before eating sushi was a trend. I'm sure that what they offer is the best ramen in the city... Get the Tonkotsu!

The Brisket – Trendy Texas

"The Brisket" Milan is a restaurant all about meat - it is inspired by the Texas "slow and low" cooking philosophy. I recommend you try the brisket itself!
