Hi, I’m Erin Morrison. I’ve spent years in the fast-paced Ottawa film scene and now run my own vintage clothing business, creating photoshoots and short-form video content. I love turning ideas into tangible visuals and building a welcoming space for people to enjoy vintage fashion and handmade goods. I also co-run a market that supports other small businesses, and I’ve collaborated with local bands, musicians, drag performers, and production crews on music videos, live events, and wardrobe for film. I’m looking for a role that puts people first and offers opportunities to learn and grow while contributing to Ottawa’s art scene.
