About Huang Lei
Huang Lei is a Singapore-based illustrator and designer who works across both digital and analogue media to create evocative, story-driven visuals. She believes art and design should tell a story – and is always experimenting with new techniques and styles along the way. With a keen eye for aesthetics, she has also ventured into campaign creative direction, leading projects from concept through to photography and graphic design.
Huang Lei's illustrations can be found in local bookstores like Hook on Books. She shares her travel illustration on her Instagram (@paperlileis). When she’s not drawing, she can usually be found cooking or hiking (never at the same time… so far).
