I’m someone who grew up feeling pretty awkward and unseen—and honestly, I never imagined I’d end up where I am today. I now work as a Chief Creative Officer, author, and advocate, helping brands like Google, Amazon, and HBO tell stories that resonate and (hopefully) spark change.

I’m also the founder of Asians in Advertising, a global nonprofit that supports the AAPI community through mentorship, scholarships, and career-changing opportunities. My book, The Visibility Mindset, is a guide for Asian professionals who want to learn how to lead with confidence and break through barriers—something I had to figure out for myself.

Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my story on stages like TEDx, SXSW, SpaceX, Harvard, and the World Bank. My work has been featured in prominent publications, including Forbes, Adweek, Fast Company, and Entrepreneur. I also teach at Loyola Marymount University, where my students have gone on to make history with the Effie Awards.

At the heart of it all, I’m just trying to create spaces where more people—especially those who’ve felt overlooked—can feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead.
