Today marks the fourth time I’ve experienced the peculiar mix of terror and elation that comes with book launches, and I’m struck by how much more confident this feels compared to the Polished Edges debut. Omnichannel Hearts is now live across all digital platforms, and the symmetry feels perfect — a book about hybrid connection […]

Receiving the Creativitys UK Award for July 2024 feels surreal and humbling simultaneously. When the notification arrived while I was finishing Omnichannel Hearts, I initially thought it was spam — awards for writers still seem like things that happen to other people, not to someone painting nails and collecting secrets in a London studio.

Receiving the Stein Arts Award from 50CA Asia feels profoundly meaningful, particularly given its namesake’s extraordinary legacy in nurturing artistic innovation.

Eastern Empire publishes in December, and I’m experiencing that familiar mix of anticipation and terror that comes with releasing something you’ve poured years of your life into. This story began during my semester at Beijing Language and Culture University back in 2018. Walking through hutongs at

Graduation day at Glasgow Caledonian University London happened exactly as I imagined it would, except for the part where I cried during the ceremony.

I’m writing this with a glass of champagne in one hand and my MBA diploma in the other — both earned, both slightly surreal. Luxury Labyrinth officially launched this morning, and I’m still processing the fact that I’ve somehow managed to graduate and publish a novel within the same week. If this isn’t worth celebrating,

The moment has finally arrived — I can share the cover of Luxury Labyrinth with you. After months of back-and-forth with designers, mood boards that looked like fever dreams, and countless conversations about how to capture the essence of beautiful entrapment in a single image, we’ve created something that makes my heart race every time

It’s official. Polished Edges is out in the world, and I’m oscillating between pure euphoria and the kind of vulnerability that makes you want to hide under weighted blankets until the reviews settle. The strangest part of publication isn’t seeing your name on a cover — though that never stops feeling surreal — it’s the
