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

Hi Tuan, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I’m from the low end, southside of Chicago. The city impacted my style in various ways. Whether it being the beautiful days of summer-time Chi, or many of our publicized statistics- the style and unique nature of its culture pushes me to be innovative while producing opportunities for growth in my environment.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Professionally I spent a lot of time learning distant crafts and business skills. It had it difficulties- yet, I found the largest issues I’d have was patience. I gained that bit of patience by being vigilant, intentional, and honest with myself in tough times. I’ve learned that I must trusting the process, have faith in the people around me, and ensure that my support system reflects my goals.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’d start with one of Chicago’s art and culture festivals- trying the locals foods and exploring the talents here.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to dedicate this to all my supporters over the years. It’s been a long journey and I wouldn’t be here if not for the people in my life.
