Sebastien Smith, writer

A picture of me, Sebastien Smith, standing in Da'an Forest Park.

I'm a writer exploring culture, history, and social change across the Chinese-speaking world.

 

My long-form work has appeared in Mekong Review and No Man is an Island.

 

Before that, I spent five years in Shenzhen's tech scene, where I worked in UX and marketing.

 

I now call Taipei home.
