Devin Elle Gaan was raised in Hong Kong before their family immigrated to Seattle in 1992. They are a photographer and designer that is learning to embrace uncertainly and encouraging a brave approach to explore opportunities in life. Once an art school dropout that turned to business, their passion for art was rekindled while attending courses at their local community college.

As a trans/non-binary person of color growing up in the MTV generation, mainstream society rarely offered anything that they saw in themselves. In their years of learning to find self-confidence and self-love, they found an affinity for creating art that can give voice to underappreciated aspects of the world. The majority of their photographic work is abstract and features subjects found in day-to-day life. They are eager to reinvent conventional processes to achieve unique results, such as with their Urban Snowflake series.
