About me
I'm an artist, filmmaker and costume designer based in Portland, Oregon. I began my career as a textiles artist, fashion and costume designer. I received my BFA in textiles and surface design at the University of Michigan and AAS degree in fashion design at Parsons School of Design. I grew up as a first generation Taiwanese American in a small Michigan town. Since then, I've lived and worked in New York City, Paris and Taipei. I work in an array of mediums: film, costume, fashion, textiles, performance, dance and photography. My work focuses on sustainability and "slow fashion". I've been the recipient of several art grants and my work has been featured in international publications and blogs; including Big, Tokion, Amica, Crash, Ecosalon, Portland Mercury, Artslandia and Oregon Artswatch.
