Faith-Ann Kiwa Young Installing Flag Installation
An Australian-born, half-Japanese multi-disciplinary artist, creative director, and entrepreneur, Faith-Ann seeks to use art and creativity to make the world a more colorful, peaceful, and equitable place. 

A passionate creator, she's had a prolific career : she started her career in NYC as an arts & music journalist and photographer, writing and shooting photos for publications such as the The Economist, Monocle Magazine, and Rollingstone. Having garnered acclaim in the NYC music sphere, she was recruited by Justin Timberlake's manager to move to San Francisco and then LA, where she worked for 9+ years on Justin Timberlake's creative team, as his chief of content and digital. (Fun fact: Faith-Ann conceived of and co-directed Justin Timberlake's famed "Can't Stop The Feeling: First Listen" Music Video (134+ million views).)

In 2015, she founded the award-winning creative agency, Mossy Creative, where she worked behind the scenes with an array of artists, brands and visionaries from Kevin Bacon, Reese Witherspoon, Christina Aguilera, Target, Live Nation and Mindy Kaling to launch memorable brands and experiences and grow communities (Like moss, which grows expansively in the shadows). Using her multi-media skillset, she engineered how to use art, content, and technology to build some of the biggest social movements in history and hundred million dollar brands : She brainstorm and spearheaded the creation of Reese Witherspoon's award-winning Book Club, consulted for  Hello Sunshine and Times Up on their launch strategies, and advised The Rockettes, Chelsea Handler, Love Wellness on milestone campaigns. (She won 5 webbys for creating the #IStayHomeFor campaign for Kevin Bacon.) In 2021, she sold and integrated her agency into a bigger entertainment agency, 
Blended Strategy Group.

Meanwhile, in 2015, Faith-Ann began making large scale, ethereal and
 sensorial 'flag' installations, to contrast the increasingly frenetic, digital world. Printing her unique photographic collages onto fabric, sewing and installing them in open spaces, she felt pulled to create safe, tactile, meditative sanctuaries to slow down, reflect and connect. 

She teams up with organizations and NGOs to create large-scale art installations and events
 that provoke conversation and confront urgent issuesHer flag series “Women” debuted at a conference hosted by LeanIn, reflected on women’s rights as well as divine femininity. Her Nepali "Wind Horses" series supported the NGO All Hands and Hearts;"Hero's Journey," presented at Hotel Carillon Miami Wellness Resort during Miami Art Basel, was a reflection on birth, rebirth and transformation. She has collaborated actively with the Asian Mental Health Project in LA and has been featured in wellness events and retreats. 

In Los Angeles, she started the popular, grass roots annual arts & culture festival in Little Tokyo, Kibō Nobori (which translates as "hope flags" in Japanese) in 2022.  With partners co-mrkt and Terasaki Budokan, the festival's mission is to spread hope in the community and bring new energy into Little Tokyo/DTLA.

She's always looking for new opportunities to fuse art and technology, unite color, creativity. When she's not dreaming or creating, she's adventuring with her husband, two young tots, and smelly yet sweet pug named Steve.
