I am one of the fortunate few who have been able to turn their passion into a career, pursuing my love for makeup artistry and beauty services. From the tender age of 9, I knew I wanted to become a Makeup Artist and have my own salon, a place where my community would cherish and support my work.

Growing up in Renton, WA, alongside my two brothers, we all shared grand aspirations. We were determined that one day we would achieve our goals and live the lives we had always dreamed of.

Beyond my mua life, my personal time is dedicated to my family and exploring the vibrant food scene in Seattle. There's a special joy in coming together with loved ones and indulging in the delectable culinary creations discovered through exploring the city and from the TikTok  latest food spots trends.

In addition to connecting with fellow beauty providers in Seattle, I am constantly seeking new techniques and products to expand my skills. This drive to evolve and grow is ingrained in my professional and personal life.

One of the things I treasure most is the opportunity to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds. In both my personal and work life, I embrace the richness of diversity, actively engaging in my community. As someone of Lao, Vietnamese, and Mexican heritage, I take immense pride in my cultural roots and upbringing. Attending cultural events with my mother and friends to savor the flavors and celebrate our Lao heritage brings me great joy.

In my heart, I will forever be Lao & Proud, embracing my heritage and using it as a source of inspiration in my craft.
