Lauren Lee, an artist, fashion designer, and award-winning children's book writer/illustrator. 

She was born in Hong Kong and first discovered her talent in drawing and painting in school. She then enrolled in an acrylic painting studio class at the age of 9 and has not stopped painting since. She later self-taught herself different mediums, from watercolor, oil painting, gouache, to marker. When she was 18, she moved to NYC to pursue a Fashion Design BFA degree and graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2020. Now, she is a full-time fashion designer by day, and a children's book illustrator/writer by night.

"I write for the 5-year-old me that needed a book during my hardest times."
