About

Ann is an artist and community organiser excited by heartfelt creative projects. In particular, they are passionate about comics, zines, 2D game art and UI, and illustration— as long as it involves drawing and/or telling stories! Tales that are dramatic, tragic and romantic are what they are most drawn to, with a sprinkling of hope and heart.

Events and Community Management

In addition, they love organising events and fostering communities, finding joy in bringing people together!

Comics Jam Malaysia

Comics Jam Malaysia is a fortnightly art jam for comic artists in Malaysia. This meet up is for artists to co-work, network and appreciate comics. In addition to regular scheduled comics jams at Lalaport, the jam community also hosts life drawing sessions, excursions, and eventually workshops.

For more info, check out the comics jam community on Instagram! (Landing page soon!)

Games Exchange Event Series

The Games Exchange is an event where Australian games are exchanged with partnered countries' indie games, and then showcased in-person at both locations. Through this, the event aims to foster cultural exchange through games, as well as increase the appreciation for indie games. So far, the Games Exchange has been run with Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and most recently, UK.

For more information about the event, check out its website.

WIP Nights

WIP Night is an event where Sydney-based game developers are invited to talk about their work-in-progress projects, sharing whatever challenges they've faced and how they've overcome them to fellow developers. These talks range from technical knowledge, to more personal hurdles and journeys. As such, WIP nights become a space for local developers to deepen their connections and learn from each other.

For more information about this event, check out its website.

Background

Having returned to Malaysia after studying and working in Melbourne, Australia, for 8+ years, they've developed a deep love for zines and birdwatching. Catch them rambling about paper engineering as a means for creative storytelling, and about what new bird species they've seen. With a developing interest in flora and fauna, keep an eye out for their Amateur Birding Tours soon!
