This wasn't just a physical transformation.
Rebuilding my body helped me rebuild my mind, my confidence, and the way I live.
That journey is what led to Kaiso.

THE FOUNDER'S JOURNEY
What saved me became KAISO
I've spent 10+ years building culture driven brand and experiences through R/GA and independent consulting . My work has included projects for Beats by Dre, Converse, Nike, Verizon, Timberland, Roots, and Amazon Prime Video across Canada, U.K, USA and Asia.
Before marketing, I spent 13 years teaching early childhood education across Canada and China, including living in China for nearly a decade.
From an early age, I was largely on my own. Years later, after privately navigating addiction, anxiety, and depression, I realized what helped me most wasn’t traditional wellness.
It was movement, grooming, routine, and my community.
Kaiso was built around that insight.
