Sophia Hotung
WRITER & ILLUSTRATOR
I'm a Eurasian writer and illustrator from Hong Kong based in Hong Kong and San Francisco. I work on commission for brands, galleries, and organisations to create writing and illustrations for books, art pieces, covers, and digital and print media.
As a chronic illness patient and advocate, I also speak at schools and public and private events about working while disabled and the future of creative work.
