Neo is an interior designer based in Los Angeles. Neo's dad was a veteran, so after the war, his family immigrated to the U.S through a program called HOP (humanitarian operation program). Neo shared experiences on how he embraced and succeeded in some of the unexpected transitions throughout school and his career, how a comment on his accent pushed him to study harder, and how he finally was able to face his true self after he came out to his mom.
