My name is Wong Lai Wah (王莉桦)
For my personal illustration brand's name, I go with my given Chinese birthname, Lihuà. Obsessed and fascinated with fashion silhouettes, most of my artworks are inspired by them entwined with Chinese calligraphy curves and watercolour accent.
I’ve started my personal brand Lihuà since 2011 with a solid portfolio of international commercial and commissioned works. My clients include advertising and marketing agencies, fashion designers, book publishers, retail spaces, event companies, editorials and entrepreneurs.
Besides pursuing Lihuà, I am also an art lecturer in Esmod, Kuala Lumpur. With my unique skill set, I was able to contribute to the fashion and illustration industry, and considered as an innovator in my field. Subsequently, the faculty offered me the opportunity to create and implement an undergrad fashion illustration module into the syllabus.
