My practice as a designer and fabricator is rooted in storytelling. I’m drawn to extracting meaning and building visual form from it, especially in projects that hold complexity—layered identity, cultural narratives, or ideas without a clear visual language.

In every project, there’s a moment where everything shifts. A discombobulated mass of ideas suddenly aligns into something clear and alive. That catharsis is what drives me as a visual artist.

I work across disciplines, including digital fabrication, illustration, printmaking, book arts, and mixed media. This background shapes how I approach design, with sensitivity to form, color, composition, and materiality as tools for communication.

My perspective is shaped by my identity as a Hmong American and queer designer, alongside an interest in critical design. I question how visual language communicates meaning beyond aesthetics, considering cultural context, narrative, and intention. I’m interested in how design can hold complexity without flattening it, drawing from queer culture and evolving visual trends to create work that feels current and real.

My process begins with research into a brand’s story and context, spending time building a narrative foundation through writing and reflection. I then translate these insights into cohesive visual systems across digital and print.

Ultimately, my work is grounded in integrity, authenticity, and collaboration—creating design that feels intentional, rooted, and resonant.
