Read My Field Notes
From 2017 to 2021, I had the joy and privilege of organizing and facilitating over 1,200 creative workshops as an artist and founder of 10AM Saigon. One of my proudest moments was curating ArtFest 2019, where I brought together 25 incredible artists to lead two full days of hands-on workshops for more than 600 participants.
Throughout that time, I was grateful to earn the trust of clients such as Park Hyatt, Laguna Lăng Cô, PNJ Jewelry, Sun&Moon Mooncake, and Hôtel des Arts Saigon – MGallery, helping bring their creative campaigns to life through meaningful artistic experiences.
Now in 2024, my journey continues in Canada – still rooted in art, creativity, and community engagement. I invite you to browse my field notes and see where the brush has taken me.
