Pachiaaa is where Hmong heritage meets modern design—bringing motifs, inspirations, and old tales into the everyday.
What began as a way to honor my culture through art has grown into a space where I blend tradition with travel, memory with function. Whether it’s a bold pattern on a tote bag, a delicate digital print, or a personal portrait session, each piece reflects where I’ve been, what I’ve seen, and what’s been passed down to me.
The idea is simple: to see Hmong culture proudly represented on the surfaces we use, wear, and love—while making space for beauty, experimentation, and storytelling. Sometimes that looks like a vibrant statement. Other times, it’s a quiet, intentional design shaped by where I am in life. And occasionally, it’s simply something made to be beautiful and useful—no explanation needed.
From global travels to the peaks of national parks, from late-night retouching in my St. Paul studio to long meals shared with family—Pachiaaa is a reflection of all the layers I carry as an artist, a woman, and a creative soul.
As I continue to evolve, so does my work.
I’m expanding as both a graphic designer and photographer—pushing my craft forward while staying rooted in what matters most: story, culture, and connection.
