As a kid, I spent all my free time jumping from one creative outlet to the next: singing, DIY fashion, bedroom decor, crochet, pottery, stained glass, photography, and dance. But my Asian immigrant family urged me to pursue only STEM fields, so I never thought of myself as an artist. I ended up getting a degree in computer science and working as a software engineer.

After 6 years of trying my damnedest to be happy with a corporate tech career, I burnt out. A leave of absence granted me time to explore my creativity again, so I took up drawing for the first time in 2 decades. Spending my days making art was a freedom that I couldn’t return from. At the end of my leave in 2022, I resigned from my job to pursue a new career as an artist.

In the following year, I would create a collection of figure paintings and art prints, which sold successfully online and in-person. This gave me the confidence to explore other more niche forms of art. I fell in love with Chinese calligraphy, glasswork, neon bending, and typography. Knowing me, this list will probably continue to evolve! I will forever be a multi-passionate being and I'm so happy you're here to share this chaotic, creative journey with me.
