A BIT ABOUT ME
It all begins with a story. Everyone has one. Here’s mine.
Born and raised as a Vietnamese-American in Little Saigon, California, I have always loved art and crafts. I knew I wanted a creative future.
After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a Minor in Photography, I discovered my true passion—telling the unique stories of people and brands through thoughtful, compelling visuals.
