David is a second-generation Vietnamese genderqueer artist who grew up in the prairies of Regina, Saskatchewan. They studied Visual Arts for three years at the University of Regina, focusing primarily on printmaking while also taking Art History courses connected to museum and gallery work, alongside Theatre Production courses.

Much of David's practice has focused on the deconstruction of generational trauma and the experience of living with an intersectional identity in the prairies. However, David has always had a deep love for fashion design as an art form. While their work at the University of Regina was conceptually strong, they felt the technical training available did not fully support the medium they wanted to pursue. As a result, they chose to move to Toronto to study Fashion Design at Toronto Metropolitan University.

David has exhibited work in two exhibitions at the Fifth Parallel Gallery. The first, It Came from the Basement, showcased a collective of printmakers. The second, Let's Go to Kyoto Too, featured work created in response to a study abroad experience in Kyoto, Japan. They will also be participating in an upcoming group fashion exhibition at the Art Gallery of Regina in September, exploring themes of intersectional identity through fashion design.

Outside of their artistic practice, David has experience organizing clubs, events, and workshops. They founded SoraCon, a local anime convention currently run by members of the Regina Cosplayer Club. They have also worked as a Youth Care Worker with the Open Door Society, supporting refugees and immigrants through workshops, art camps, educational programming, and recreational activities.

This experience with the Open Door Society allowed David to build relationships with artists and community members throughout Regina while developing a community-focused approach to events and creative programming.
