GLOW WITH AVA represents my identity, inspiration, and passion. The evolution of my identity includes attempts to understand and bridge the East and West. I was born in Korea, raised in China and attended an international school exposing me to Western values. Skincare has played a big part in this evolution and still does.

This account is a creative outlet for me to share all my skincare, beauty, lifestyle tips and inspirations to my readers and followers.

I started @glowwithava as an outlet from my mundane and stressful job in a male-dominated field to share my passion and knowledge of the skincare beauty industry. It was a pure passion project and all I had was an old iPhone 6 that took the worst quality pictures, a pile of sheet masks in my drawer that could rival Sephora, and my passion for skincare and beauty. It has now become more than I could have ever imagined it to be, and I am excited for you to follow along my journey.

I soon realized that GLOWWITHAVA was becoming more than just a skincare content page - it was becoming a source of inspiration for people to start their own skincare journey, a place for my audience to connect to different brands, and most importantly, a place where I was learning how to be open and true to myself. I was learning - that it was OK to leave my finance job to pursue my passion; that it was OK to follow my dreams; that my value doesn’t decrease just because someone can’t see my worth.

My passion for helping others grow in the workplace has now transpired into helping brands and individuals grow. That is why I created CURATED BY AVA to bring my two sense and tips to build your content and achieve your dreams. Check out my portfolio to see my brand partnerships.

So let’s chat and let’s figure out how we can work together!
