 As much as we think we're safe for the moment, if another community is being attacked, none of us are safe. In the beginning of my career, people would ask me, how does your cultural heritage, how does your ethnicity inspire your passions? I remember just being taken back by it because I'm like, oh, this is late in racism. And it would happen over and over and over. The questions were like, is red your favorite color? Do you employ dragons and phoenix on your motifs? Do you love satin? You know what I mean? What does it feel like to be Asian and in design? Throughout the years, I come to slowly understand that it's just ignorance. The Asian culture, the beauty of it is all the things you cannot see because it's humble, it's respectful, it's invisible to the naked eye because it is about integrity, it's about hard work, it's about sticking your ground and staying in there and persevering and the resilience.
