What does it mean to build a creative career by being unapologetically you, while making space for others to do the same? Bernice Chao, Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of Asians in Advertising, joins Michele Ching for a conversation about authenticity, representation, and the power of culturally grounded storytelling.
From leading campaigns for brands like Google, Amazon, and Netflix to mentoring the next generation at LMU, Bernice shares how personal identity and professional excellence don’t just coexist—they fuel each other.
