I’m Evelyn Wong (she/they) and I’m a full time artist, part-time professor, and the owner of Fireball Bookbindery.
Owning a creative business is an extension of what I do as an artist and as an educator, because I use this business as a platform for sharing my love of book arts and hand-bound books. My business has a focus on utilizing Asian materials, designs, and book-bindings to make journals that celebrate Asian American identity, and it’s a great way to share who I am through what I love. It’s been a great experience to have this business because I’ve found such an enthusiastic community of people who love having journals that celebrate who we are, and they love learning about all the different materials and processes that I use. It also makes me so happy when I hear back from people who have purchased one of my journals as a gift to their mom, dad, sibling, or other family members and these customers tell me how excited they were to receive such a unique gift!
