We are a girl from Finland, and a boy from Taiwan. We love each other and all the special quirks that come with an international love story.
We would like to thank you for supporting Heini & Vincent in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our love story begins in Switzerland in the Spring of 2019. We connected on Bumble. Vincent was in finance in NYC and Heini was a stewardess in Abu Dhabi. We had our first date in Vienna, Austria, and despite coming from such different backgrounds, we felt immediate chemistry. We spent the following year meeting in various cities, getting to know each other and having marvellous adventures together, until the spring of 2020. We got married in Helsinki, Finland in the summer of 2020.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory so far is setting up our first home in NYC in the Winter of 2021. Until then, Vincent had been living with multiple roommates in NYC and Heini had been travelling and moving cities a lot until her job in Abu Dhabi. Neither one of us had really had a home, since leaving our respective countries, so this was a magical moment for both of us. Newly married and getting to create our little lovenest in one of the most exciting cities in the world.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use a portion of the prize money to expand our online art gallery, the HMVC Gallery, operation and invest in our artists. We'd like to allocate funds towards marketing and advertising initiatives to promote our artists and their artwork, and acquire artworks for our personal collection. It would also be fun to host special events, gallery openings, and curated exhibitions IRL to showcase our artists' artworks and engage with art collectors and enthusiasts.
