A little about me

I am an award-winning author and illustrator. I spent the first ten years of my career working in the animation and gaming industries. One of my "notable" achievements was giving Jar Jar Blinks his first kiss in The Clone Wars animated series. I have published with several publishers, including Penguin Random House, Scholastic, Disney, Chronicle Books, Lee and Low, Albert Whitman, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan First Second.

As someone who grew up in Hong Kong in an Indonesian-Chinese family during the British colonial era and now lives in the US, my creative vision is a melting pot of the various cultures and countries I have experienced.

I enjoy writing and drawing in my own space, but it sometimes feels isolating. That's why I've come here. I hope this portal on the internet allows me to connect with many amazing people in the larger universe.
