I've spent over two decades building and scaling businesses across creative studios, family offices, and tech startups.

In 2009, I founded Markets of the City, an online directory celebrating artisan and farmers' markets. I later co-founded Identity Pop, the creative arm of the Intellectual Digital family office.

From 2014–2020, I ran Papa Chiang's dumplings, a passion project serving my father's legendary dumplings 🥟 to the tech community. When the pandemic hit, my aging parents worried about my health and asked me to close.

Over the last five years working with founders, I kept coming back to Papa Chiang's in conversations because it embodied what I value most: showing up with integrity, treating people well, and creating experiences that make life a little better.

Now, I'm bringing Papa Chiang's back to honor my father's craft, build community, and create moments that add lightness, ease, and a bit of a smile to the everyday—and maybe surprise a few people along the way.
