Terri, known as “Siu Tung” among her readers, illustrates comic column in magazine and travel blogs, develops a various range of products including stationery, postcards and travel accessories. Terri: “Back in my high school days, I was inspired by a comic series written by Yazawa Ai.”

It’s the story of a group of students studying in a special high school for the arts in Tokyo. She was impressed by the passionate and encouraging spirits from the story. And she realised the power of “drawings” in a positive way.
