hey. hi. hola.

Hey there!

I'm a writer, creative director and first-generation Vietnamese-Texan living in Austin. I spent most of my career at some of the best agencies in New York, and now I’ve been wandering to wherever life and ads take me. Some brands I've made ads for are GEICO, DIRECTV, Venmo, Crate&Barrel, MTV Networks, ESPN and the NFL. Some of my ads have been recognized by Cannes, The One Show, AICP, The International YoungGuns Awards and D&AD. Sometimes I get to talk about ads on panels at The 3% Conference, The Female Quotient and Creative Week.. And sometimes I get put in lists about people who make ads.

Here's a list of lists I've been in:

  1. The 3% Conference's Next Creative Leader

  2. The One Club's One to Watch

  3. Mashable’s Rising Stars of Advertising

Here’s a little interview The One Club did about how I approach freelance life and the differences between hard pants vs. soft pants.

If you’d like to find out why How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days starring Matthew Mcconaughey played a pivotal role in my life, here’s a list of questions I answered for Muse by Clio.

Reach out if you need someone to write, creative direct or make nachos. I can do those things. Sometimes all at once.
