With a B.A. in Sociology, and a master in Communication at SDSU (specializing in emotional and non-verbal communication), Shaan has always been passionate about human interactions. Although she calls Southern California home now, Shaan is a globetrotter. Capturing people's habits and emotions are her main interests, and she excels when expressing herself through images, whether they are still or moving. Shaan experiments with a diversity of techniques to portray a story in the most authentic way. She believes that images have the strongest impact in communicating ideas and emotions across borders. With a background in strategic planning from ad agencies, Shaan co-founded WediaWix in 2011, a film production company that allows her to produce her various projects. After a successful crowdfunding campaign, she directed and produced her first long-feature documentary during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil entitled "All Eyes on Brazil" (broadcasted on French national television). She recently shot and produced a short documentary series for Universal Music France, and aside from her freelance projecs, Shaan also works as an executive producer at Helium Films USA.
