My Van identifies as a thinker before a maker; as a creative aspiring to be a catalyst for other creatives, she interested in bridging the gaps between disciplines, as a former student of fine art and film. In any event, her work concerns telling cross cultural narratives. Soul-searching in Asia during her summers allowed Van to see how creativity can be approached on a global perspective to bridge the inherent gaps across communities, in ways unexplored in her Euro-centric education. Her work is inspired by how brands are treated globally, and woven into the fabric of life wherever they are taken. With a particular interest in chasing her own narrative through East Asian metropolises, in order to study current and future trends in the global creative market, she is currently focused in branding, strategy, and activation.
