ABOUT
INFO
In my younger days, I was a crayon-on-the-walls vandal. Since then, I've exchanged my culprit title for an art director title, and I've traded in my 64-count Crayola box for Photoshop. What hasn't changed is my curiosity of the world and appreciation for all things aesthetics. I believe that stories are meant to be told, and visuals are a means to capture emotion in full form.
Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents and raised in Northeast Portland, I developed an early understanding and appreciation for the intricate beauties in both eastern and western cultures. The creative industry led me to a path that allows me to share those beauties with the world— to understand multifaceted stories, to reflect lived experiences, to create work that touches people and shapes culture.
