About

Hello, I am Ying Hui, born and raised in Malaysia. I started drawing when I was little, I couldn’t imagine my life without creating something meaningful or a connection with someone. And here I am today, very blessed with a job, also my illustration and storytelling dream. I lived in the UK for more than 10 years and now I am back in Malaysia.

I experiment with colours, movement and flow to deliver the smallest details and feelings into my work. Whenever I work on a project, I keep a learning heart and open mind. Thank you to those who believe in me, for the opportunities and experiences to become a better artist and storyteller. Other than drawing and creating stories, I enjoy cooking, watching movies, travelling for food and spend quality time with my family.

Please contact my agent Susan from the Bright agency for all publishing enquiries.
