INSPIRATION: The charm and beauty of the butterflies in the South of Vietnamese region attracted me to a passion of childhood game - design and create characters for my beautiful fairies stories by what Nature give to these butterflies.

After the silk is painted, a quality assurance process takes place to make sure the best pieces are used to send to the seamstress for the design to be completed.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I traveled across Asia and mountains of Vietnam for searching natural pigments to paint on silk. I traveled the world; observed many different cultures and their unique styles. I decided to specialize in people over 35 to bring out their own natural beauty with my designs.
At year 2007, I owned my color, sizes, and patterns I created Papillon Noir boutiques, a factory in Hoi An.
I’m now studying art, skill writing English, and going to study merchandise and develop production in Los Angeles.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult aspect was working with different factories to discover the correct finishing treatment for the silk to work well with the paint being used for painting the designs.
