Prestigious Powerhouse is a bi-coastal talent agency representing AAPI talent in commercial/print (Prestigious Models) and film/television (Image Powerhouse).Instagram: @prestigiouspowerhouseBetween 2024 and early 2026, I managed their Instagram platform, producing content and engaging with followers 5 days a week. I created new visual branding guidelines from their existing logo and brand assets, curating a more consistent look and tone to their Instagram feed and online "voice." I created a variety of posts including booking announcements, talent collages, talent spotlights, commercial reels, industry news, and holiday graphics. I also designed consistent templates for their reel thumbnails.

The Little Saigon Night Market is an outdoor market that takes place annually in front of the Asian Garden Mall in Westminster, California. Located in the heart of the Little Saigon district, the market is known for its lively atmosphere and food stalls selling authentic Vietnamese street food. Dozens of local vendors also sell clothing, toys, and trinkets.Instagram: @asiangardenmallI was contracted as part of a social media team to promote the Little Saigon Night Market in 2023. Our team developed new marketing strategies aimed towards drawing in younger demographics. We developed a plan to post consistently throughout the 3-month contract period and researched local foodie influencers to partner with. While the market typically boasts crowds of 2,000 to 3,000 attendees per night, that summer we increased the average crowd per night to 4,000.PERFORMANCE STATS

The Tournament of Roses features a 5-mile parade of 40-50 floats covered entirely in flowers and organic material. The Rose Parade has been a long-standing New Year's Day tradition since 1890 and now draws an estimated crowd of 700,000 in-person spectators and 50 million worldwide television viewers.

Love 2 Yeu, a nonprofit dedicated to providing relief efforts to global communities of underserved youth, brought me onto the fundraising campaign for their 2025 rose float, "Journey of Dreams." I helped develop the visual branding of the campaign and marketing assets, as well as coordinated the VIP guest reception. Our float drew media coverage from KCAL News, ABC 7 News, KTLA 5 News, VOA Tieng Viet, NBC LA News, Fox 11 News, and Little Saigon TV, winning the Grand Marshal award for most outstanding creative concept and float design. We raised over $500,000 from our online donation campaign and were able to donate the funds to Love 2 Yeu's global relief efforts.

It featured a gallery wall of 24 illustrators and fine artists from the worldwide Vietnamese diaspora, a variety of live music and dance performances from local Vietnamese entertainers, and a night market full of specialty Asian food vendors.This event also doubled as the official launch event for the nonprofit I co-founded, Vietnamese Creatives Collective. I produced everything in the show in collaboration with my board members and Marc Liu of Hot Noize. The event brought out an estimated 800 attendees and over $12,000 in donations to kickstart our nonprofit organization.
