Through her humourous observations, she highlights the differences her webcomics, which helped her gain a popular following on Facebook and Instagram. Her seminal work "Eva, Kopi and Matcha (2014)" depicts and satirises cultural differences between Singapore and Japan and has been translated into Bahasa Indonesia and Vietnamese."
