Lulu Yao Gioiello’s got a lot on her plate. An art director by day, she also runs an art and clothing line, forbabies, inspired by the concept of the “henna onna,” a Japanese phrase that translates to “unusual girl.” And she’s starting a book series, FAR-NEAR which challenges stereotypical Orientalist perspectives of Asia (currently she’s fundraising on Kickstarter).

“We want to showcase and highlight different things that aren’t usually seen or known about Asian culture, and broaden the perspective of what is Asian,” she explains. “And we want to make sure the whole geographic area of Asia is included. It’s not just China, Japan and Korea.” Read on for her answers to our lightning-round questions.
