I am an apparel designer and material researcher based in Austin, TX, interested in redefining what garments can be on a conceptual, functional, and sustainable level.
This inquiry honors a fundamental love for clothes [how they give physical form to the abstract concepts of personal identity, culture, and collective societal philosophies] while asking how they can mediate a deeper connection to our bodies and environment and confronting the devastating environmental and social effects of the apparel industry.
I draw inspiration from my Malaysian-Chinese and American heritage, often using textiles, knots, and woven structures as metaphors for hybridity and belonging. My goal is to build a body of work that reimagines fashion as both cultural artifact and sustainable future.⭑
