IxD/UX designer & VR creator bridging the gap between humans and tech to create meaningful experiences. Intersectional perspective. Open to new opportunities.
New York, NY, USA
Joined February 2007
In 2020, I decided that I would opt out of systems where I as a #LGTBQ #AsianAmerican inherently and systemically am disadvantaged. It's time I reward myself instead of fighting an impossible fight where statistically, I will never gain from or be acknowledged for my work.

it's the ultimate white flex to say that your race is your advantage. #blm #StopAsianHate

When will @facebookapp moderation algorithms be able to catch casual #racism? Because white moderators certainly don't.

I invested in materials for this season based on my steady trajectory of growth, which I believe now may be disrupted by not having the Star Seller badge. I obviously can't prove it and it's still early, but I am definitely worried that I'll be taking a hit this season.

I love it when white people talk about racism like it isnβt their problem.

#AsianAmericans are so often faced with literal silence when we speak out against racism. Bystanders, watching. Silence tells me that my experiences are too foreign to be relatable, and too foreign to deserve your empathy and outrage. #SilenceIsNotAnOption

I never knew the pain that comes with silence (especially friends) until the last few weeks. Now when I see another Asian calling out racism and microaggressions, I DM them to say that they are seen and that I share their frustrations. #StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHateCrimes

Race and identity are not inherently "political," and those who "don't get into politics" are not exempt from addressing and acknowledging racism. In fact, it is "politics" that is needed to address the silence. #StopAsianHate #StopAsianHateCrimes #StopAPIHate

I think the safety I've enjoyed as an Asian American has historically come from being invisible and innocuous. With visibility, so too comes racism and hate. #StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHateCrimes
