bio:
I make soft things about hard things—identity, memory, and the strange magic of growing up between cultures. Born in the Philippines to Chinese parents and raised in Brooklyn, I’ve always lived in the in-between: not quite here, not quite there, but somewhere entirely my own.
My practice pulls from that third culture experience. I mix traditional craft with digital techniques, high-touch with high-tech, the natural with the nostalgic. Plush sculptures, character-driven forms, and tactile materials become vessels for hybrid stories—remixed, reimagined, and sometimes a little ridiculous (in the best way).
There’s humor in the dislocation, beauty in the mashup. I borrow from pop culture, childhood memories, family traditions, and the textures of daily life. What emerges is a soft, evolving archive of who I’ve been and who I’m becoming—felted together one layer at a time.
This isn’t about resolving identity. It’s about making space for it to be wild, weird, and wonderfully in flux.
