About Me

Hi, my name is Alyssa Wong (she/her) and I am a second year at Northwestern University from the Bay Area, California. I often write epic high fantasy and speculative fiction short stories, and create art across various mediums, including pencil, paint, print, digital, needlework, and costume/fashion design. Beyond writing and art, I love cooking breakfasts worth waking up for.
