‍ I'm a Laotian American multi-media creative based in New York City, with a graphic design background from Pratt Institute and a deep belief that boundaries exist to be pushed. My work is rooted in cultural identity — the nuances, the histories, the things that make a perspective uniquely yours — and that foundation shapes every visual language I build. Fashion and music live at the heart of what I do, two worlds where storytelling is visceral and image carries real weight. That passion drives me to create work that is intentional, experimental, and always pushing toward something that feels genuinely alive.…‍ I'm a Laotian American multi-media creative based in New York City, with a graphic design background from Pratt Institute and a deep belief that boundaries exist to be pushed.
