Steve Soo Hoo was born in Los Angeles, raised at the foothill of Dodger stadium in LA Chinatown and later moved to San Gabriel Valley to the city of Montebello. He is the youngest of three children to a family who is one of the original founding families of Los Angeles' Chinatown. He attended school in Montebello where he was always involved with some sort of art (visual or audio) and technology, he loved his apple ii+ and iie... yes he's that old.
He's a child of the 70s/80s watching iconic sitcoms and played in nostalgic arcades of legends throughout the SGV (Pirates Cove, Electric Planet, Tilt, and Pac Man arcade), iconic brand mascots and pop culture was part of his daily diet. He witnessed the growth of the internet at it's infancy in the early 90s attending college when IRC was the latest and cheapest form of communication with friends throughout the US who were from the SGV which influenced him to keep up with technology. Steve became a Graphic Designer while attending Long Beach State. He has designed a wide variety of clients in numerous industries including videogame, aerospace, entertainment, legal, healthcare, and finance (which he is currently designing for). He's definitely influenced by his past exposure to iconic brands of the 70s and 80s as he creates new designs for his various projects.
Steve has a passion for food and cooking that started as early as he could remember following his mom cooking and also visiting relatives at their restaurants in LA and SGV. As a method to relax from work, Steve loves to cook and BBQ, seeing the instant reactions of people eating his latest creation brings him joy, more so when it's masses of people. He loves exploring the next food trend in the SGV, which currently appears to be hot pot or Chinese BBQ skewers. The foodie hunt continues, onward to the next food post on his IG while finding hidden spots as a 9th year yelp elite reviewer.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
