My work centers on how fashion intersects with memory, migration, and marginalized histories, particularly through Asian and diasporic perspectives, shaped by over a decade of experience across museums, academia, and cultural institutions. I am especially interested in how fashion intersects with memory, migration, and marginalized histories. eyond traditional research, I actively explore social media and digital engagement as tools for democratizing fashion studies, using platforms to amplify underrepresented narratives and foster public dialogue.
Research
I explore how fashion functions as a global system and form of personal expression, shaping identity, memory, and belonging across diasporic and transnational Asian contexts.
