Asia, a 27-year-old native of Philadelphia, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Community and Justice Studies with a minor in Chinese Language and Culture from Allegheny College.

Beyond her formal education, Asia is a self-taught artist specializing primarily in traditional pen and pencil drawing, while also exploring painting and digital artwork. Her artistic endeavors aim to tell stories through visual narratives.

The collaborative project "Fated" draws inspiration from the Chinese mythology of 'The Red Thread of Fate', which symbolizes an invisible string connecting two people destined to meet. This endeavor merges Asia's passion for culture and art, bringing to life a beloved mythology spanning East Asia.

In her own words, Asia shares, "I have a keen interest in reading, writing, and exploring different cultures and places. These passions have fueled my ambition to establish my own bookstore."
