Author's Bio

It's lovely to meet you! Thanks for visiting my page.

I'm a pre-published kidlit author living in Montréal with my husband, twin girls, and two very opinionated rescue dogs. I've been lucky to call the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, and Taiwan home before moving to Canada.

I've always been a visual thinker, which took me down a decade-long career path designing user experiences for emerging tech. As AI encroaches and rapidly transforms that industry, I find myself pivoting to stories, crafting them through deep thought and imagination.

Growing up as a third-culture kid, I turned to books as a lifeline for learning about different cultures, identities, perspectives, and philosophies. As a writer, I aim to create worlds where kids can lose themselves and find a sense of belonging along the way.

Hi, I'm Ching.
