Hello ︎ I’m YY (as in why-why; they’re my initials)! 

I’m a Chinese-Singaporean illustrator, author & designer currently based in NYC-ish, where I design book covers at Grand Central Publishing/Hachette. Before that, I studied illustration and art history at MICA.

I like bold, punchy colours, graphic shapes, and lines that look a little wonky. My dream project is to illustrate a cookbook even though I’m really bad at cooking. In my spare time I like listening to the same three songs on repeat, hoarding picture books, and thinking up increasingly rancid names for cats.

Hit me up if you have something cool you’d like to work on together!
