1. Describe yourself in three words?

Intense, energetic, and intentional. I don’t do anything halfway. If I’m in, I’m all in. I move fast, I expect a lot, and I put 100% into everything—whether it’s my work, my travels, or the people I surround myself with.

2. What’s your proudest moment?

Marrying my cute drummer husband.

3. Art icon?

There are so many, but it always comes down to the artists who push boundaries, not just in technique, but in thought or the way they show their work in unique spaces.

4. Hidden gem in your city?

You know I’m not about to give that away right! But let’s just say the best places aren’t the ones you can Google or from Instagram. You either know or you don’t.

5. Favorite restaurant?

The ones where the service is seamless, the crowd is right, and the experience is unforgettable. The name? You’ll have to ask me in person.

6. Song you can listen to on repeat?

None. I actually just need complete silence. My husband is literally a musician, so when I get the chance, I soak in the quiet. Maybe white noise, at best.

7. Exhibition you’re excited to see (or have seen)?

I saw Kikuo Saito’s work in New York last year, and it was incredible, just a completely different feel to anything else out there. That kind of work stays with you.

8. A skill you’re working on mastering?

I’m currently learning Mandarin. I am always immersing myself in different cultures, and learning the language is just another way to understand the world at a deeper level. It’s intense, but that’s what makes it fun.

9. A memorable place?

Seoul right now, it’s electric. There’s an incredible art scene happening, and you can feel the energy shifting. It’s the kind of place that keeps pulling you back.

10. Favorite museum?

The Broad in LA. The curation, the space, the way the works interact right in Downtown, it’s one of the best.

11. Artist you’re currently thinking about?

I just saw Tracey Emin’s Another Tsunami at Frieze in LA, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Her work is raw, powerful, and completely unapologetic—everything great art should be.
