I'm Jeni, a curious, optimistic girl striving to scale joy in this world. I was born in a small house in the Kathmandu Valley — and I find purpose in working towards a better world.
I am a data analyst by day and a storyteller by night. When I long for the stillness of perfect moments, I bring them to life through wordplay. I build on the medium with my photography, which is my personal attempt at immortality.
At the heart of my endeavors is a desire to create beauty for others to rest in. I hope to build a world where we can rely on a culture of care — and happiness is in abundance for everyone to enjoy.
