BRANDS CHRIS HAS WORKED WITH
Why do I do what I do?
I’m not interested in just consuming culture, I want to create the culture that speaks to me.
I grew up constantly being told that there would be no space for me.
I've been able to prove all of that wrong.
Growing up, seeing people such as Wong Fu, Jubilee project, Natalie Tran, and Lilly Singh on YouTube inspired me. Seeing them do well gave me the audacity to think that I could be somebody.
My hope is to inspire other queer Asian American geeks or anyone in marginalized communities to believe that their voices matter.
Never settle for the status quo.
BIO
Chris's Hosting Reel

Straight Men Watch Drag Race
For The First Time
Chris's most popular and sought-after video series. You’ve seen watch/review series before but never like this. The video was featured on Into Magazine and generated partnerships with Delta Nutra, TeePublic, and YouNow.
Paid For Grindr Xtra For A Month.
Was it worth it?
Finally a review of the service just about every gay man in America uses. Chris assesses the ‘premium’ side of Grindr to see what it’s all about - so that you don’t have to. You’re welcome, society!
OTHER OFFERINGS
Are you ready to get your shit together? Because I am. I’ve helped Skillshare revamp their YouTube as well as so many individuals start their own YouTube channels.
Packages Starting at $4,700
Did your portrayal of an Asian American result in all of Twitter ready to descend on your condo? Or, are you looking to be more proactive and actually inclusive of LGBTQ+ and Asian people on your tv show, book, webcomic, etc.
But here’s the thing – this is not a one and done situation*. Anti-racism work and inclusion is going to require trainings, sensitivity reading, education, etc. While I would love to have you cut me a check for $10K and peace out, this is intense work - hence a retainer!
This offering can also include consultants of other backgrounds and experiences. I’m not qualified to, say, consult on how to portray Black Americans.

Build The Team | Packages Starting at $3,400
You know that diverse teams make better content and media, period. Not only have you reviewed the overwhelming studies and research on this, you also get that it just makes sense.
Do you want to build a diverse team of badass creatives – who have incredible backgrounds and the chops to make a project happen? Do you want people who have their pulse on what the industry needs and future trends?
... but your network is lacking?
I understand! Instead of tweeting looking for talent (and looking like an asshole), I will help you build a diverse team to make your project happen.

Pick My Brain | $155
In the last years, I’ve had a TON of people reach out to ask to “pick my brain” about different topics. From working at BuzzFeed to which microphones/cameras to rent for a production to script review to how to “hack it” as a BIPOC creative living under white capitalism. I also have a lot of sessions where I brainstorm content ideas with clients.
There’s a lot of options!
In order to show up fully for others, I created this offering! The session has us get on a Zoom call, discuss your questions for 60-80 minutes, and then we’re done! I don’t do any pre-work for this call, and I do not send a write up or take notes.

“I’m out of ideas!!” | Packages Starting at $1,800
Do you need new blood in your brainstorm session or writer’s room – but you can’t bring on someone for full-time or part-time. For this package, I will spend 6 hours (1 day) brainstorming ideas for stories, campaigns, etc.
Basically, this is the “ideas guy” package.
