Wynn Yau is a Live Event Illustrator & Fine Artist from Toronto, Canada
Born in Hong Kong, she grew up in a creative family that nurtured her passion for art from a young age.
In 2017, she received an Honours Bachelor of Arts with a Fine Arts major at the University of Waterloo. She began her professional career as a graphic designer at a branding agency, later moving into a consultancy where she sharpened her skills in visual communication. In 2025, after eight years in the corporate design world, she decided to take a leap of faith and began her journey as a full-time artist after being inspired by her recent travels back to her hometown of Hong Kong.
She now specializes in Live Doodle Portraits for weddings, parties, and corporate events, creating timeless, personalized keepsakes that guests can cherish long after the celebration.
Beyond live events, she creates vibrant acrylic paintings featuring Remy the Hedgie, an original character inspired by her beloved pet hedgehog who went on countless little adventures throughout his life. Her work celebrates the joy and nostalgia of life with pets, offering heartwarming mementos that spark comfort and delight.
