My birthday is a high-stakes production.
From curating themed dress codes to handcrafting DIY decorations and designing multi-page invitation suites, that level of care and craftsmanship is what I bring to every project.
Scrap Paper Confetti
I see the potential in every scrap of paper, saving each piece “just in case.”
This instinct—creating something from scratch—is driven by my upbringing.
My family, Cambodian refugees who rebuilt their entire lives in America after the Khmer Rouge genocide, showed me that constraints are simply an invitation to innovate.
I do it for the ‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’
A successful design is often reduced to pure efficiency metrics—how fast or effortlessly a user can get from point A to point B.
While this is important, I believe digital and physical experiences have a greater purpose: create a positive, lasting impression.
I don’t just design experiences to be functional—I design them to be extraordinary; to hear the audible ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ when someone enters my birthday party.
