Leslie Kay Lim
Leslie Kay Lim is a writer and illustrator who grew up in Tokyo, New York, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. All that moving around meant she read a lot of books. Her ninth grade teacher declared her a “bibliophile,” while assuring her it wasn’t a disease. Well, not a fatal one at least. After getting her BA in a town in Vermont straight out of a postcard, Leslie became a fashion journalist at the main newspaper in Singapore. She eventually came back to New York to get her MA in Fashion Studies at Parsons, and ended up teaching there as well as working with exhibitions and archives. She couldn’t resist the creative call to make things herself, though, and ended up getting her AAS in Communication Design. Through book design, she discovered the magical world of picture books. Leslie now lives in Brooklyn, NY, and aspires to one day own a Vespa and a dog.
