Writer
To let an impetuous mind quieten down---read!
Angela's father was a poet, and influenced by him from a young age, she became an avid reader and a well-known journalist who, in addition insatiably reading, she has published 20 books on design with over 2 million written words. Reading and writing became an important part of her life, which have equipped her with a strong vocabulary flow.
Angela says that her writing was a God given wonderful gift. To complete a book, she would sometimes spend over 100 hours with interviewee. On crack of dawn, she would suddenly wake up with a fountain of afflatus and after a long contemplation, she would write down everything in one sitting. Her own writing on rereading it afterwards would often amaze her. There is a saying that one’s soul is closest to heaven in a certain moment at dawn. So Angela says that these beautiful words came to her from heaven.
Angela's writing has focused on designing. She has written many books for leading architects and interior designers, and some designers with fusion. She has completed serial books for 9 most influential interior designers in Hong Kong. Many of them still remember her books when she went to one of the designer’s 60 birthday party in Hong Kong 12 years later after publishing. The number of young designers who had told her that they had grown up with reading her books inspired her.
Once a reporter interviewed Angela, and asked her the most important three things in life. She replied: Love, freedom, reading and be read.
Angela is a writer who writes with her heart. She has enjoyed and immersed herself into writing.
