I am a photographer, graphic designer, and artist based in the Pacific Northwest. Though I create a lot of digital content, my personal work is more diverse and hands-on. I express myself in a variety of different of mediums such as illustration, screen-printing, painting, textiles, and cooking (pulling from traditional recipes and home-cooked meals from my childhood). One of my larger, ongoing projects is producing a cookbook comprised of many unique cuisines of my Tai Dam heritage to celebrate the matriarchs in my family – an homage to my lineage.

Food is a large part of my background – from foraging to sharing meals – all of these things have influenced the work I create and they are practices that are pertinent to exploring my cultural identity. Some other themes in my work are centered around nature and growth, nostalgia and loss, and creating imagery based on oral accounts of my family’s immigration stories. I am also constantly inspired by activism with reverence to social justice, community, and the environment. I hope to inspire others to create, consume, and live mindfully.
