Welcome to the 3 Episode of Black Americans Making Their Mark: Stories Abroad!!!! We will be visiting the dynamic POWER couple Ty & Shay.

Ty & Shay are originally from Brooklyn, NY and became citizens of Canada in 2019. They have lived & work in Vancouver, B.C since 2012. Shay is a full-time VFX Coordinator at Double Negative and Ty is a full-time Senior Technical Director at Sony Imageworks. Ty & Shay are high school sweethearts. In 2009, the couple got married and moved to Albuquerque NM, where Ty began his career in film. The year prior, they were literally living out of a suitcase in a motel in Los Angeles as freelance designers. In 2011, an opportunity became available at a film company in Adelaide, Australia. The couple had no idea their industry had work positions abroad! They made the journey to Canada to work in Vancouver’s booming film and instantly fell in love with the city.
