Hi, I’m Mandy
A playful optimist with serious visual-storytelling craft.
I love words, art, and joy—and I’m endlessly curious about what happens when you put all three in the same room.
A few pieces of me to Chew on
I’ve never been very interested in staying inside one box.
My creative path runs through theatre and writing at UCLA, film and digital media, visual development, 3D ride visualization, photography, poetry, and speculative fiction. I’ve helped imagine physical worlds for Motiongate Dubai and co-created published stories, newsletters, and evolving story worlds with my husband, Jonathan G. Chew.
The connecting thread is wonder. I like asking big questions, finding an unexpectedly specific image, and leaving people with a little more color or possibility than they arrived with.
Also: puns. There will almost certainly be puns.
Speculative fiction, visual poetry, essays, and tiny prompt-driven stories.
Themed-entertainment concepts, visual development, animation, and story design.
Photography, color, castles, cats, pop culture, and ordinary magic.
Many favorite projects are joyful collaborations with Jonathan.
