Kim Ashdown is a self-taught dreamer who was born in a little beach town called Flagler, on the eastern coast of Florida. Kim took to the beauty around her as soon as she was able to hold her first starfish. Throughout her childhood, Kim developed an appreciation for her majestic surroundings. She would often sit in trees for hours with imaginative stories and homemade forts, or scour the oceans edge to find a mosaic of treasures hidden along the path. Years of artistic expression made it clear that Kim's life would be centered upon her passion for what adventures life has to offer. After high school, Kim attended University of Central Florida which lead her to living out a dream as a Whale and Dolphin trainer. Kim is now a full-time senior trainer at one of the top Marine Mammal Zoological Facilities in the world. She currently lives in Orlando, Florida but nonetheless calls the entire world her home. Through traveling over 18 countries in her lifetime, and 10 of those being within one years time, Japan holds a special place in her heart. She lived in Tokyo for 6 months and by this she really LIVED. Kim taught English on Japan's version of Wallstreet by day and would intentionally get lost on her walk home hoping to find a story to capture on her camera within the remote edges of temples and skyscrapers by night. Kim has just begun to truly live her adventures to the fullest, and is using her cinematographer spirit to compel others to dream. Kim is currently involved in commercial work, shorts, documentaries and video and travel journalism. You can learn more about her craft at mosaicedge,com
