2023 Cannes Lions

I am excited to announce that I will be included with 15 other incredibly talented female creatives, hailing from 14 countries, as the 2023 See It Be It cohort.

The theme for this year is ‘Know your power’. As Madonna Badger, founder of the agency Badger & Winters, shared: “Creative women have a power unlike any other as they use their strengths and vulnerabilities to know their own power and express their talents. This is true for the 2023 Cannes See It Be It group.”

Asians in Advertising Creation

Five years ago, I wanted to create a space for API in the industry but was hesitant due to cultural barriers of not wanting to take space. Due to the pandemic and the rise of Asian hate, I knew it was time to create a space for ourselves.

In 2021 I co-founded the non-profit Asians in Advertising with Jessalin Lam, VP of DEI at DigitasHealth. When we started our first networking event, we hoped that 20 people would show up, but over 650 people signed up, and now our network is 4,000 global. We have created a yearly summit, scholarships, mentorships, and a podcast.

ADWEEK x AIA: AAPI Creative Spotlight
