about

Hey. I'm Reyn (they/them). I'm a multimedia editor, journalist, and writer based in Long Beach, California. I’m a frequent enjoyer of oolong tea and properly running editing software.

I often marry digital media and narrative journalism together in my work, though my specialties lie in video editing and feature writing. My experience as a queer Chinese individual guides my practice — as such, I aim to serve the marginalized through the constant pursuit of its justice.

I also used to want to go into comedy writing, but we don’t talk about that.
