Writer @ Titan Comics, Amihan Entertainment, Hulu
I am a TV writer, writer of comic books, and narrative writer in video games. Man, I love words. I am obsessed with getting it right, in whatever I'm writing, probably because as a Chinese atheist teen in the middle of the Bible belt, I was always getting it wrong. From food writing to music journalism, I have bylines at McSweeney's and Venus Zine. After touring as a stand-up comic in the Midwest, I moved to Los Angeles where I worked on QUEEN SUGAR, HARLEM, and ALL RISE. I staffed on MAGGIE, an 20th/Hulu romantic comedy where I wrote and produced my episode. In addition to my television work, I was a Second Rounder at Austin Film Festival, a semi-finalist in the first year of Imagine Impact as well as the Film Independent Episodic Lab, and in 2021 I was chosen as the Disney/ABC General Entertainment Writing Fellow. When I'm not writing TV, I'm cowriter of Blade Runner: Origins. I have a feature, THE SEAGULL, in pre-production and I am also showrunner of Animated Shorts for Amihan Studios.
