Career Quasar graduated with a BFA in Communication Design from Pacific Northwest College of Art. During the degree program, they were involved in the local drag community. Their design career has since included animations and graphics for RuPaul's Drag Race world tours, as well as work with Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon.

In 2018, Quasar re-designed the existing rainbow flag to incorporate the transgender flag, as well as black and brown stripes to represent LGBTQ+ people of color, with the black stripe having an additional meaning for "those living with AIDS, those no longer living, and the stigma surrounding them".

The additional colors were added in a chevron shape along the hoist to represent forward movement. They began a crowdfunding campaign to fund the first production of the flags. In 2021, Deliveroo adopted the progress pride flag for Gay pride. The flag is flown in many international cities above official buildings, including New York City, London, Boston, and Sydney.

As of 2021, Quasar resided in Portland, Oregon.
