Welcome to 1.9.7.5 Creations
I'd love to tell you a bit about what inspired me to start this company and choose its name.
In 1975, many Vietnamese families made the difficult decision to leave behind everything for the chance at a better life. Among them were my parents, who made a risky and life-threatening choice to travel across the ocean to a refugee camp in Guam. It was there my parents learned they were pregnant with their first child – me. Eventually, they made their way to the United States and started their new life from the ground up.
Growing up, I always felt grateful for my parents' sacrifices, knowing that I would not have the opportunities I have today without their brave decisions. This gratitude and motivation inspired me to pursue my passion - starting my own business. And so, 1975 Creations was born, named after the pivotal year that changed the course of my family's life and future generations to follow.
Quick Bandit started as a fascination and a determination to solve a problem and create something new, something better. And from the moment I had the idea, I knew I had to make it a reality. Seizing this opportunity and following my dream is also a tribute to my humble dad, a talented, hard-working carpenter who created beautiful, functional pieces.
Over the past several years, I have spent countless hours refining and improving Quick Bandit through research, trial and error, and ongoing customer feedback. Over time, what was once an evolving prototype became a product I could bring to the market for Tesla and Rivian owners. It also became something I firmly stand behind and am proud of.
The story of 1975 Creations demonstrates the core values that my business was founded on and continues to uphold: sacrifice, gratitude, innovation, and legacy.
​
As my company grows and evolves, I'm more excited than ever to see where the road will take us.
