A graphic designer obsessed with street culture.
My name is Harry, I am a graphic designer obsessed with street culture. My mission is to turn East Asian culture into an essential part of American pop culture. If design is a bridge then my inspiration is Edison Chen, an Asian streetwear founder. He inspired me to earn respect and ethnic pride through the work we do, and the art we design.
California street culture brought a unique perspective to my design. I like powerful, pulsing designs, and the purity of organic art and craft. I wear the same hoodie and pair of jeans when designing. The residue of material and extra spray paint not only recorded my history it also marks my evolution as a designer.
In 2003 I started by customizing sneakers and by 2019 I had started a streetwear business. Now I earned my MFA and will continue using the potential of street culture to pursue my dream of unifying and understanding different cultures. I feel fortunate and grateful to turn my passion into a career that I love and that contributes to ethnic pride.
