* FEED OUR ARTISTS, FEED OUR COMMUNITY
* FEED OUR ARTISTS, FEED OUR COMMUNITY
I’m a community builder. I bring together, organize, galvanize, and co-activate my communities to push ourselves to places we’ve never been before.
With my community of Asian American creatives in North Texas, we’ve hosted an art market, contributed to exhibitions, published zines, and engaged with the wide tapestry of the Dallas creative scene.
I’m a firm believer that one cannot create in a vacuum, and creating in community produces a uniquely symbiotic power.
In my capacity as the Creative Director of the Dallas Asian American Historical Society and the Founder of the Dallas Asian American Art Collective, it is my dream for Dallas to have an Asian American Museum of Art & History someday.
And we believe that that someday is closer than you’d think.
I can explain that.

Weddings, birthdays, whenever!
I demystify why we do the things we do for the next generation of Korean-Americans. I’ve had experiences at Korean weddings (paebaek), 1st birthdays (dol), and translated sermons from Korean to English for a decade. Why do we bow with a specific hand placement? What do all the different fruits mean? What do the colors of specific hanbok symbolize? Let me bring you into how rich our culture & history are.
