About

I’m a writer and digital strategist. I help brands and media companies develop and implement scalable creative marketing, communications, and storytelling solutions.

I was born in Oxford, England, and grew up in New York, where I attended Stuyvesant. I studied linguistics (BA) at Dartmouth; women’s studies (MST) at Oxford; and fashion (MA) at Central Saint Martins. In 2000, I was scouted by the founder of Wilhelmina’s 10-20 Division, where I became the first Chinese-American plus-size model signed to a major agency. My first book was published by HarperCollins in 2006.

Most recently, I was Chief Content Officer of Tatler Asia, where I led the brand relaunch as well as print and digital editorial strategy across eight markets: Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

I was a Contributing Editor at Fast Company, the Digital Director of Food & Wine, Digital Director of WWD, Editor at Large of Glamour, and Executive Editor of Epicurious. My work has appeared in publications such as Vogue Paris, VMan, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, Condé Nast Traveler, Esquire, Elle, and Allure.
