My proudest skill when it comes to my work is how I colorgrade my photos and videos, looking at the “before and after” and going, “This is so beautiful.” Although my best skill, it was the hardest hurdle to learn and overcome when I first started out in my media journey. As such, I would love to use my platform as a way to educate creative students who feel the same way I did when first starting out. This would involve (dynamically) going through my process in how I shoot my photos/videos, my settings in camera, importing them into Lr or Pr, and how I color my media to achieve a certain look. For me, this opportunity is about bringing transparency into creativity, and I would love to be a resource for fellow students who want to develop their skills as a creative. I want to show my audience that no matter what their major is or where they are in their creative journey, it’s always possible with Adobe.

It’s been 7 years since I’ve started my photography and filmmaking journey. Even from high school, Adobe has been by my side since my humble beginnings and it’s still with me in my college years. While being a full-time student, I collaborate with a music publication to photograph and highlight APIDA artists in the music industry, using these applications to deliver high-quality images of notable figures such as Grammy-award winner Laufey and Korean sensation Wave to Earth to indie artists like grentperez. Even as a STEM major, I’m able to develop my creative passions using Adobe. For example, I’m part of the Innovative Design club at USC. We work with a variety of clients who require photo and video assets for their marketing, websites, and social media reach. None of my deliverables would be successfully brought together, if not for Adobe products. Aside from my hustles, I use these two applications for all other aspects of my photography, whether it be for travel, street, fashion, landscapes, you name it. As for video, I use Premiere Pro and After Effects to curate my visual storytelling. I’ve been involved in USC’s Asian Pacific Cinema Association as a Director of Photography and Editor in numerous film projects, all of which have been executed on these platforms. I’m well adept when it comes to workflow between apps as well: adjusting lighting/color in Lr and bringing it into Ps for compositing, as well as doing cuts in Pr and transitioning into Ae for heavier edits. Truly, Adobe has been the very foundation of my creative passions and I would love the opportunity to be a student creator.
