This board combines the tail shape of the popular Loaded Longboard with an aesthetically smoother head shape.
A mini version of the classic board, but able to fit into skateboard backpack straps and be carried around school seamlessly.
Without a car, I built boards and bikes to enable myself and friends to get around in style.
Sandblasted and repainted old road bike frame, hand laced snowflake wheel and painted rim.
I ran a small online jewelry business with my cousins in Hong Kong when I was 13 years old
I hand made dresses for school dances and events, and also sold them through Etsy.
BOARDS, BIKES + BEADS (2006-10)
Role: Maker
These boards are the result of hours of planning and working in the wood shop after school during my teenage years, a time where having my own "vehicle" symbolized a much desired freedom and independence.
Dozens of layers of birch plywood, epoxy resin, fiberglass, spray paint, griptape and acrylic paint later, my artistic rendition of an "R" is imbedded in resin as the logo.
In addition to making boards in high school, I built bikes, crafted jewelry, and sewed.
