Kuansiew

Kuansiew is a Malaysian author, illustrator, and engineer whose creative work sits at the crossroads of precision and imagination. Trained as an engineer and driven by an unrelenting love for storytelling, she writes and illustrates with a voice that is witty, whimsical, and disarmingly honest.
Her debut book, Take a Deep Breath for Me, chronicles thirteen hospital admissions across a transformative year—a memoir that navigates fear, faith, and the unexpected gift of vulnerability with equal parts humour and heart. Beyond memoir, Kuansiew illustrates an early readers series and is completing her second book, a vignette collection on grief, loss, and longing.
A passionate advocate for patient education and animal rescue, she regularly connects with her community on social media and at kuansiew.com, where readers, collaborators, and fellow creatives are always welcome.
