Stunning photography and candid interviews with Hong Kong's most traditional craftsmen and women
Hong Kong children's book
 

Sunset Survivors is the culmination of 3 years of listening to the stories of Hong Kong’s very last traditional craftsmen and women. Their lives are filled with hardships, endeavour, culture and custom but most notably, the strongest Hong Kong value of all: Family. I hope you enjoy their stories.

Welly the Wild Boar is a fun tale that hopes to inspire children in Hong Kong to get out and explore our wonderful little city and not be afraid of meeting new people and trying new things. Welly’s culinary tour of Hong Kong features some of my favourite childhood snacks - many of them sold from street vendors who won’t be around for much longer - So try them quick!

HK Slang (due for release in 2023) is a celebration of Cantonese culture and language. I partnered with my old friend, Iris Yim, and together we identified and translated some of Hong Kong’s famous slang words and phrases. Our hope is that it brings the local language’s history, wit and hilarity to light and gives readers a greater appreciation for Hong Kong Culture.

What it’s all about

“A celebration of Hong Kong culture. The more we learn about our home, the more we understand it, cherish it and hopefully find ways to protect its unique character.”
