We recently had the chance to connect with Tiffany Sun and have shared our conversation below.
Tiffany, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Right now, a normal day for me looks like balancing structure and creativity. During the day, I work as a departmental buyer, managing purchasing requests, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly, while in the evenings I unwind by exploring new places, discovering hidden gems, and editing photos to share my experiences in a creative way.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
@tiffanysunnie is my digital diary, a collection of memories that reflect my gratitude for the life God has given me. I share pieces of my daily life, from quiet, ordinary moments to new places I discover, with the intention of romanticizing the mundane and appreciating the beauty we often take for granted. This space is both a personal record and a reminder for myself and for anyone who comes across it that there is so much worth noticing in the small details of everyday life. My hope is that it encourages you to slow down, embrace gratitude, and take a second look at the beauty already surrounding you.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
The relationship that most shaped how I see myself is with my grandma, my Ah Ma, who taught me that dreams have no expiration date. Based in Taiwan, she began painting later in life after her children moved to America. Instead of slowing down, she embraced a new chapter through art classes, pouring her heart into each brushstroke. Her paintings, inspired by Taiwan’s beauty and Asian traditions, are rooted in real photos she’s taken on her travels, making them deeply personal and authentic. Watching her reinvent herself showed me that creativity has no age limit and that it’s never too late to begin again. Through her art, Ah Ma doesn’t just capture landscapes — she preserves stories, memories, and a zest for life. Her journey continues to remind me that I, too, can chase my passions fearlessly, no matter the timing. You can explore her work and even request custom pieces at her Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AhMaPainting
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
One of the biggest fears that’s held me back is the fear of failure and judgment. I often find myself caught in perfectionism, asking: Is this content good enough? Is it doing any real good for the world? How will others perceive me if I share it? Those thoughts have stopped me from putting myself out there, even when I know the message or memory is worth sharing. I’m learning that holding back doesn’t serve anyone not me, and not the people who might actually connect with my perspective. Even if it’s not perfect, even if not everyone “gets it,” sharing authentically is better than staying silent.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
A cultural value I protect at all costs is Taiwan’s independence. It’s deeply personal to me because it represents the freedom to honor where I come from and the stories that shaped my family. When I competed in the Miss Houston pageant, I carried this message with me as a reminder that our identity is worth protecting and sharing with the world. For me, Taiwan’s independence isn’t just political, it’s about preserving memories, culture, and the sense of belonging that makes me who I am.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I only had 10 years left, the first thing I’d stop doing is worrying as much as I do. Anxiety and depression have been a big part of my life, and sometimes they make me overthink, doubt myself, or miss the beauty of the moment. If my time was limited, I wouldn’t want to spend it trapped in those spirals. I’d want to shift my focus to living fully. Appreciating simple joys, spending more time with the people I love, and chasing experiences that make me feel alive. Worrying doesn’t change the future, but it steals from the present, and I don’t want to let fear keep me from noticing all the good around me.
