Lauren Lee was born and raised in Hong Kong. Growing up, she was always painting and dreamed of being an artist. She graduated in 2020 from the Parsons School of Design and started working as a fashion designer in NYC. A year into her full-time designer position, she wanted to do something more inspiring. So she picked up her paintbrush and published her debut children's book, The Girl and the Lock on Her Heart. Shortly later, she was invited on the radio, America Tonight with Kate Delaney, to share her book. She wishes to provide emotional shelter with her book to empower her readers.
