Chi was born in Vietnam and raised in Germany before moving to Toronto at age 13. Watching cooking shows helped them learn English and provided useful baking skills to make friends with their school classmates. They now use baking as a meditative practice to balance with their busy career in tech. Their vibrant style is inspired by their six-year-old daughter, Quinn, who is also their sassiest critic. Chi’s partner, Ryan, lends a gentler ear and supports by tidying up the post-baking mess.
