We had the good fortune of connecting with MAGZ YANG and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi MAGZ, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
For over 7 years, I devoted my career and creative energy to Adidas, immersing myself in the world of material development and design. It was a privilege to contribute to a brand that resonates globally, creating products for athletes and enthusiasts all over the world. While I valued the experience, I craved the chance to express my own ideas.

I had so many stories I wanted to share through my work and found an outlet with art. I made the transition to starting my art business last August and it has been a tough journey. However tough it may be, I have found it even more fulfilling as a career. Through my art, I aim to inspire, bring joy, and provoke thought. This journey is only the beginning, and I’m eager to make a lasting impact with my creations.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m passionate about storytelling through color because it holds the power to evoke emotions and convey deeper narratives. My paintings all have a story behind them. Whether it’s rooted in my childhood experiences, the empowerment of women, or the whimsical adventures of my beloved bunny Milo. The best part about sharing my art with the world is witness people’s reactions and seeing them laugh, cry, or wonder deeply. It is an exhilarating feeling to be able to share this with the world.

I am currently working on a few projects. One in particular merges my passion for golf with my artistic flair. Golf hasn’t always been smooth sailing for me, but it’s a journey I cherish. Now, I’m channeling that love into my art, creating pieces inspired by the courses I’ve played and the people I’ve met along the way. It’s a fusion of two worlds, a celebration of camaraderie and creativity, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate this shoutout to my partner, Joshua. Without his unwavering support and guidance, I wouldn’t have had the courage to take this leap. Joshua has been not just a partner, but a mentor, always there to encourage and uplift me. Thank you for believing in me.
