MY FINE ART PRACTICE, AND A LITTLE ABOUT ME :
ALL GIRLS KNOW HOW TO DO
IS TWEET AND SAY YES
PLEASE PRINT MONEY
built by hand,
torn apart in photoshop,
physically built by inkjet machines,
planned in collaboration with generative AI, IRL online and everywhere else
art as life
all in the name of dreaming
made in and for a world we’re supposed to forget
by a girl
from menlo park
personal work
built by hand, photoshop, and various ai image gen tools, output into the physical world
A little about me:
I’m so committed to the vision I‘ll tattoo myself on an impulse to match the dream on the moodboard.
As a visual artist, writer, prompt engineer, and creative director across content and media, I've had a winding path that's taken me from commissioned portrait painting to serial collage and freelance creative direction. Born to a Hong Kong immigrant father and a midwestern mother who met at IBM in California, I grew up just a mile from MPK21. I've called many places home, including New York, Los Angeles, Australia, Japan, Belgium, and Ohio, before settling back home in San Francisco.
My creative career has been marked by experimentation and innovation, particularly in integrating GenAI into my creative work, writing for media and culture, and as a creative technologist who never sleeps. I first started experimenting with AI in 2021, as one of the first people to beta test DALL-E for OpenAI in the summer of 2021, when I was doing a fellowship at the Headlands Center for the Arts, which led me to integrating AI across my editorial and creative practice, and eventually working as a prompt engineer myself.
I've showcased this fusion in solo and group exhibitions locally, nationally, and globally, and incorporated elements from a fused, wholly integrated creative practice into editorial media and cultural creative campaigns for girlknewyork, A$AP rocky, pornhub, and more.In my spare time, I like forcing computer vision programs to write critically objective sonnets in iambic pentameter in modern language.
With a background in digital media, surface design, journalism, painting, poetry, Spanish, and photography, I‘ve worked everywhere from Fashion Week to Meta. My experience also includes being a backend prompt engineer for Google Cloud, where I built 550 reusable chat prompts: among many things, favorites include building out the foundational groundwork of tonally accurate tarot reading analysis outputs; optimizing cost-per-wear for trends like mob wife winter for optimized the office, specifically relying on metrics like cost and skirt length to optimize purchases off the Real Real as a stylist; and how to plate Thanksgiving and holiday meals for household pets on Gemini. I'm most proud of integrating GenAI art in generally AI-phobic spaces, including museums, the Dutch government's permanent archives, and sold off at art auctions in the places I called home.
Outside of work, I like world building, speculative writing,and teaching - specifically collage and poetry workshops to humans, and training computer vision programs to write about images in iambic pentameter in the style and rhetoric of brat by Charli XCX .
