Born in the United States to parents from Singapore and Hong Kong, I write, weave, sew, spin, and print mostly in the American Midwest. Many archives inspire my textual and textural work: the histories of the queer community, Asian America, and local fibersheds. 

I received a PhD in Latin American History from Brown University in 2025. In 2021, I was awarded a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad fellowship to conduct research in Mexico City, Mexico; in 2022, I received a China Initiative Grant from the Watson Institute to conduct research in East and Southeast Asia.
