Tinna- Creative Director
(She/Her)
Tinna is the creative behind LAO’D Productions and Club LAO'D, driven by a desire to collaborate with artists to produce art that empowers them to express themselves with a deep sense of pride. Tinna’s sheer passion for photography and videography has resulted in her spending the last six years rigorously developing her artistic skills and knowledge, and she continues to challenge herself to innovate with each new project. Tinna’s intersectional identity resulted in her desire to create content that highlighted the diversity she felt was lacking from mainstream media. As a queer, first generation Lao-Canadian, Tinna grew up searching for people in media with whom she could relate. Finding that such representation did not exist, she felt compelled to hide her true self, in order to adhere to the prescribed societal norms. Several years ago, feeling that she had finally become her authentic self, Tinna decided to follow her passion, and pursue photography and videography as her life’s work.
