"Initially I really loved doing photo books, so photo books and also video editing... freelancing was not a word way back then. So that's my first few loves. And then when we were in the US, Marvin and I, we have two kids at that time, so I just took care of them and that's my side hustle. I did wedding photos, videos for some of my friends." - Jenny Galang
