Mai rhymes with pie! I’m a Vietnamese-Japanese American comics maker, illustrator and ice-cream enthusiast living in the California East Bay

 
 

My full name is Mai K. Nguyen. My career in comics began in second grade when I made a picture book about my dog, Kenta, and his ability to teleport anywhere. When I’m not dreaming up new story ideas, I’m hustling as a UX designer, exploring nearby nature spots, or eating too much ice-cream. My debut graphic novel, Pilu of the Woods, was published by Oni Press in 2019.

I am represented by Britt Siess of Britt Siess Creative.

And if you’re curious, “Oh Mai Pie” comes from my high school AIM username of “maiapplepie”!
