For those who don’t know, my name is Tyler. I’m actually a psychotherapist for my full-time occupation, so this is a side gig that stimulates my brain in a way that my work does not.

I’m Cambodian-American, born in the US by Cambodian refugee survivors of the Khmer Rouge between 1975-79. Our perspective is often lost in the noise of others’ experiences, so one of my goals is to show how our unique backgrounds can bring about new perspectives to the world.

If you know me well enough, I’m very much into the aesthetic world, whether it be through music, fashion, art, or writing. I like to dig deep into my hobbies, and the process of mastery, though grueling and frustrating at times, is extremely rewarding. I actually. So that’s why I started leathercrafting!
