me,
myself and I
Hello! I’m Amira, born in the South of France, but somehow ended up freezing my ass in Toronto. If you’re wondering whether the Eiffel Tower photo was necessary, the answer is yes. I’ve corrected one too many people here who assume I’m from Quebec.
Why advertising? Honestly, I’m not sure. I dreamt of being a private detective, but my parents didn’t approve… so now I stalk ads instead of people. And I actually love being an art director.
