ABOUT

 

I’m not sure what color my hair will be when we meet, but just look for the trusty jade bracelet on my left wrist and you’ll know it’s me.

 

“it’s always

soup season”

 

I am Vietnamese. I am also American.
My roots are connected by culture, not a hyphen.

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, so when alone with my thoughts for long enough, I still think about what might’ve happened if the Blazers chose Michael Jordan in the 1984 NBA draft.

Over the past 12 years, my experiences have led me in many directions. I’ve worked in skateboarding, streetwear, sneakers, livestream shopping, print publications, no-code software, mobile gaming, TV/film production studios, fintech, and more. Design has also allowed me to live and work abroad in Accra, Ghana and Istanbul, Turkey (I have a great Istanbul rec list if you need it!).

These days, you can find me in LA, hangin’ around ktown and slurpin’ my body weight in various noodles and soups.

My growth stems from collaborating with fresh perspectives from different backgrounds, so let’s talk.
