Art Direction

I concepted and directed photoshoots for the magazine's print editions, and led teams of photographers, stylists, writers, designers and models to execute my specific vision. I made first print in the magazine for 2/3 issues!

SPRING 2025

How do traditional Asian beauty standards evolve in today’s modern world? This piece uses a classic beauty symbol like flowers and contrasts it with colorful stickers to represent the influence of pop culture. It speaks to how each generation reinterprets tradition, blending timeless elegance with contemporary self-expression in Asian beauty and adornment.

WINTER 2025

What would a hunting scene look like through the lens of high fashion? Shot in the Oregon mountains, this whimsical editorial captures the emotional tension between a bear and a rabbit, blurring the line between predator and prey, malice and style. It invites a double take, both visually and conceptually.

Role: Art Director

FALL 2024

What are your limits? And how many are you not aware of? Untamed by Glennon Doyle is a story about shedding expectations imposed on women as children and discovering one's wild. Brene Brown calls it the wilderness too, a place of solitude and truth.

 

I wanted to visualize the moment where a woman is released from her state of hibernation and enters into a state of cathartic freedom, realizing how vast and boundless the world really is.
