Hi. I’m a multi-disciplinary creative with 14+ years in visual and production design.
I’m a creative professional who’s all about bringing ideas to life. My work is inspired by themes of identity, culture, community, and social justice—it’s where my heart is. Whether it’s conceptual development, branding, illustration, or photography, I love turning big ideas into something real and meaningful. When I’m not in creative mode, I’m a proud mom and a practicing Hmong shaman, staying deeply connected to my roots and community. I thrive in team settings where collaboration sparks innovation. Got a vision? Let’s bring it to life together!
