Originally from Penang, Malaysia, Reese lives in Minnesota with her husband and their little boy. She previously ran an Asian spice shop, and also worked on UNESCO Heritage projects in Penang in the areas of performing arts, history, and arts education. Reese loves spending time with her family, dancing, listening to podcasts, and reading up on art & design. And of course, dreaming of another trip to Japan to hike mountain trails, eat her favorite street food Okonomiyaki, and discover small-town festivals.
