About

I create stories for those hardened by life and still finding ways to be kind and good.
 

My work lives in the emotional undercurrents: identity, grief, generational trauma, cultural dissonance, and the love that tries — and sometimes fails — to hold it all together. Whether I’m building branching dialogue or writing a quiet, devastating scene between two characters, I aim to leave players feeling seen, haunted, and transformed.
 

As a Vietnamese-Chinese American narrative designer with roots in music, film, and creative production, I blend cinematic storytelling with emotional worldbuilding. My work often explores Asian mythology, inherited pain, gender expectations, and the quiet rebellion of selfhood, especially for characters trying to break cycles or survive them.
 

I’ve directed and produced music videos with over half a million views, been featured on NBC, and crafted narrative experiences across indie games. I specialize in stories that treat pain as sacred, villains as reflections, and magic as metaphor.
 

Creatively, I’m inspired by The Last of Us, Life is Strange, The Haunting of Hill House, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Everything Everywhere All at Once. I love stories that are messy, mythic, and tender — the kind that let you grieve, hope, and heal at once.
 

When I’m not writing or designing, I’m teaching swim, running an online community of writers, and leading my own indie dev studio.
