Capturing inspiration from creative communities: Asians in Advertising and Doodles By Andrew.

BEYOND THE RESUME



Asians in Advertising

Asians in Advertising is a non-profit organization that empowers the AANHPI community through dynamic networking and meaningful connections. I joined their volunteer team in 2023 as a Creative Team member, working alongside fellow professionals of Asian backgrounds.

In my first year, I helped lead the creative efforts for their annual Breaking Barriers summit, which attracted over 600 in-person and virtual attendees, as well as their C-Suite Conversations panel, which had over 250 virtual participants. I am also preparing for several upcoming events.

Doodles By Andrew

In 2020, I started Doodles By Andrew on Instagram to spread colorful, creative, and positive messages. Over time, this venture blossomed into a small business selling homemade products on Etsy and through an online storefront.

Through Doodles By Andrew, I’ve found a sense of belonging within my Instagram community, allowing me to share my voice and vision. I’ve had the privilege of connecting with fellow creators who share my passion, and these interactions have fueled my growth and creativity — one doodle at a time.
