No DSLR. No laptop. No problem.

Hearts shoots and edits everything on her iPhone 13. She says she "never" uses a traditional camera. She prefers the back camera for its higher quality, especially for intros and polished clips, but often switches to the front camera for spontaneous, face-to-face chats with her followers. It's a full-on mobile production studio in the palm of her hand.
