Outside of work
Concerts, club nights, local showcases — if there's a live set happening, I'm probably there. Music is where a lot of my instincts about brand, emotion, and audience come from.
Six years of hands-on experience behind and beside the camera — photo direction, set styling, creative concept development. I love the craft of making something look right.
I publish on Substack — usually about media theory, platform culture, or whatever is occupying my brain that week. Writing helps me think.
Bilingual (English / Vietnamese). Raised in Houston with deep roots in Asian American community spaces. I care about who gets to be in the room and who gets to tell their story.
