I am a 23-year-old designer from San Diego, California, currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Fashion serves as both a creative outlet and a transformative tool, allowing me to explore identity while creating opportunities for others to do the same. Through design, I strive to build immersive worlds that invite people to connect, participate, and express themselves.

​

​This vision is embodied in my ongoing capsule collection, SAMIKA. Through the collection, I explore and celebrate my Cambodian heritage, sharing my family's story while continuing my own journey of cultural discovery. I am drawn to brands that balance personal storytelling with a sense of playfulness to create experiences that resonate beyond the product itself. My goal is to design pieces that foster connection and allow people to feel part of something larger than themselves
