Empathetic to a fault as a kid, I was always putting myself in other people’s shoes.

Now I do the same when creating because understanding others is what drives great work.

My Chinese name means ‘Money for Family.’ My legal name is based off the word Diamond. I’m the youngest of four.

Of course, I am my parents' prized jewel.

Two of my favorite memories:

  1. Making cold brew during lockdown with my sister

  2. Growing up drinking traditional tea with my dad out of an IKEA French press.

My love for fun drinks must be genetic.

Whether it was crafting monsters in my head watching SYFY’s ‘Face Off,’ designing ballgowns on Project Runway, or producing my own season of Big Brother, ideas and concepts have swirled around in my head longer than I can remember.

My mind runs a million miles per minute, so why not make a career out of it.
