Heyy yall - I have some updates!

I've always been doing many things, designing is just one of them. And I have been doing it all for as long as I can remember. I am reintroducing my work and reintroducing myself too. If you know me, you know this has been a journey of becoming in so many ways. The timing of this all together has been liberating, to say the least.

I am going by Ka (they/them/she/her) from now on. You might have met me as Oskar. Ka is my name, it's always been. Only now I feel ready to share it. I appreciate it as you get used to it with me, and grateful to those who have held me through it.

Ua Si Co-founder, Ka Oskar Ly (they/them/she/her)

Heyy, I’m Ka. I am an artist, organizer, and cultural producer. Working at these intersections is powerful. It allows us to stay curious and be in conversation with ourselves and communities. How do we show up and create cultural innovation and community futures? Together, there’s more magic.
