Hey!
I’m Izzie, a 23 year old from Oxfordshire, U.K. Living with Candian Citizenship here in Whistler, Canada. I am a multidisciplinary creative with an eye for detail, a passion for visual storytelling and being able to express that through multiple mediums; digital design, illustration, photography and videography. I would describe myself as inquisitive, energetic and adventurous. I thrive off learning new skills and throwing myself into different and new experiences, from an ever-changing world to working on dynamic creative projects, I think it is crucial to have a diverse range of skills that I can bring to the team.
I'm always looking for new projects, adventures and to meet like-minded creatives, so if you have any enquiries, ideas or would just like to say hi, please get in contact.

6 THINGS ABOUT ME:
I created my own clothing line Juzzi Studios , in 2020. How it all started was quite an adventure.
I am a ski & snowboard instructor.
I travelled around the world when I turned 18 by myself for a year. This changed my life.
I love sports, exploring and outdoor adventures.
I just finished doing a ski season in Val d’Isere, France (2022) and am now back living in Whistler, Canada with Citizenship.
I love being put out of my comfort zone and faced with challenge, it’s amazing how much can be gained from doing so!
