I build modern third spaces through breathwork, intentional gatherings, and community experiences that bring people back to presence and connection.
I see my role as a designer of human environments — a modern community architect creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build meaningful relationships with others.
Through breathwork, conversation, and intentional gatherings, I’m working to cultivate environments where thoughtful people meet, ideas circulate, and genuine human connection can thrive.
I know a lot about breathwork, nervous system regulation, space holding, community building, and designing intentional gatherings that bring people back to presence and connection.
I need support in building the systems, partnerships, and infrastructure needed to grow the modern third spaces and communities I’m creating. I also need help in learning how to speak, write, and read Mandarin.
The way you show up in a space shapes how everyone else experiences it.
I most admire my parents and grandparents. They survived the Vietnam War and had the courage to leave everything behind to start a new life in a country where they didn’t know the language or the culture. Despite those challenges, they worked hard, adapted, and built a life and opportunities for our family that didn’t exist before.
Their resilience, sacrifice, and determination gave my sisters and me the foundation to create our own paths. The struggles they endured are something I carry with deep respect and gratitude. Their story reminds me that what we build today is possible because of the strength and courage that came before us.
It’s a constant inspiration for me to live intentionally, make the most of the opportunities they created, and continue building something meaningful for the next generation.
I create spaces where presence, connection, and community naturally emerge.
