Hey there!

I’m Cindy, a Taiwanese-American author-illustrator, digital product/brand designer, and design leader currently based in the SF Bay Area. I love tea, pastries, and storytelling for kids big and small.

I support children in expanding their connection to themselves and the world around them so they can find their voices, dream and achieve their dreams, and build a better tomorrow together.

When I'm not pushing pixels, writing, or drawing, I enjoy hunting for the best sugar donut, playing music, and looking up through the leaves.

I studied Human-Computer Interaction and Learning, Design, and Technology at Stanford, and have worked at some amazing places like Intercom, Salesforce, Designer Fund, and Intuit. Currently I’m leading product & brand design at Glean by day, and working on a middle grade graphic novel memoir by night.

Let’s chat!

I am represented by Rebecca Sherman at Writers House.
