Yuin-Y is an artist and an educator. Her recent notable projects include character designs for Rachel Liew’s Money Personalities, brand identity and album cover design for Malaysian swing jazz band The Frankie Sixes. She was also a contributing illustrator to the 2020 Penang-based anthology “Home Groan” and was one of five winners for The Tokyoiter Exhibition organized by the Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur in 2024.
