Bridging the Gaps of Lao American Identity Through Design An interview with Michael Sasorith INTERVIEW BY BRENDA TRAN
MICHAEL SASORITH is a classic jungle Asian designer. Like many Southeast Asian web designers who came of age in the digital era, he got his start by teaching himself to code AsianAvenue and Myspace user page layouts. Today, he’s a designer at ArcStone, a Minneapolis-based agency that focuses on marketing, web design, and web development. Although he initially considered his work and Lao American identity separate, he later found ways to merge them through creative projects. In our conversation, Michael talks about how he got his start in design, the influence of Lao culture on his own work and advice for future Southeast Asian designers.
