Personal life
On October 20, 2000, Hardy suffered a stroke at age 14. It caused her to struggle in her classes at school as she had difficulty reading and speaking. Years later she improved her communication but she could not follow her goals to become a doctor or an accountant. She had to focus on her right brain and developed her skills in visual arts. She studied drawing, painting, and integrated media programs in OCAD University.
In 2008 Hardy created a 2-dimensional animation WSIM: What Suffered Inside Me for her thesis project at OCAD University. It was screened in a number of festivals winning three Best Film awards.[7]
