I’m Lilian “Lily” Cochrane, someone who’s always been drawn to creativity, storytelling, and connection. I’ve explored those interests through photography, social media, and writing—capturing moments and turning them into something that feels meaningful. Right now, I work in operations, where I’ve learned the value of communication, teamwork, and staying grounded under pressure. Even though my current role isn’t creative, photography continues to be how I express myself and make sense of the world around me. I care about creating things that make people feel something, learning from new experiences, and finding beauty in the everyday.
