About Weiwei Leung
Weiwei Leung was born in southern China in the late 80s. Her first memory of a video game was as a toddler holding an unplugged controller observing her dad playing Battle City (Tank) until 2 am. After completing her education at the Royal College of Art in London, Weiwei has resided and worked in various cities, including Shanghai, Copenhagen, and Berlin, where she pursued a career as a freelance artist. Her artistic practice has exhibited versatility, encompassing visual art, installations, textile design for mass production, and album cover design for experimental music. Weiwei Leung also boasts a collection of field recordings released on cassettes. Ultimately, Weiwei's deep-rooted passion for storytelling and directing led her to abandon all other pursuits in favor of game development, recognizing it as an art form with the potential to convey the experiences she had always aspired to create.
