BIOGRAPHY 🎐

I am a Vietnamese-American creative who strives to evoke a profound emotional connection between the art and the viewer through soft, delicate designs imbued with imaginative splendor.

This includes crafting both aesthetically pleasing artwork and socially conscious content that raises awareness to a greater cause, prompts healthy dialogue revolving around social justice, diversity, and equity, and empowers underrepresented communities—all of which can be referred to as design activism.

When I'm not designing, I can be found in an everlasting state of reverie, indulging in fantasies about thrilling escapades and soothing night drives, or chronicling my daily adventures in a journal.
