I’ve been the designated AI gal for/at work. This is an illustration that was prompted via Midjourney, this image took est. 20 min to generate and some touch ups were made in photoshop. Absolutely mindblown... (Top image untouched, final image shown as the podcast tile.)

Chinese American Museum: Family Day (Anna May Wong) Workshop Lead
Led a crafts workshop with the help of volunteers! A family day event at the Chinese American Museum in celebration of Anna May Wong as the 1st Asian American Women on the quarter. This day felt sooo busy and I didn't even get any photos (these are all from the Chinese American Museum.) Led a kid friendly activity that involved creating an embossed foil art with Anna May Wong templates and of course the opportunity to insert a bit of creativity as well.
Loved chatting with the folks at CAM as always and esp loved chatting with the folks from the Smithsonian. (Found out so much more about the process of the selection of the coins and how they played a role in consulting-v neat)

I'm a recipient of the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund 2020 and I worked on my personal project @pocketsizedyou. Here I'll share some process and context to this project/experience!
My Creative Journey | From LOSER to LUCID | Hosted by ACC
I did a talk regarding creative journey and tips related and it's out on youtube now! I'll add that this might be silly but baby me feels very proud of myself because presenting has always felt out of my comfort zone. I'm use to being quiet but despite and with the nervousness, I did it!!! ✨🌈✨
ACC actually found me thru my youtube videos and when they invited me to give a talk- I was so hesitant because I was scared, but that feeling of fear- made me lean into it. Quick takeaway from that: 1) even if you feel like what you're putting out doesn't matter- you never know who's watching. 2) LEAN INTO YOUR FEARS- it’s never as scary as you thought
And on a last note: if you're curious about my journey, if you're on a creative journey on your own, if you like stories and/or tips- this is for you:
