Derek

Derek is an editor at KawaiiToons. He loves coloring, drawing, and the small ritual of setting out pens before a quiet evening at the desk. He joined the site to help other hobbyists find supplies that feel good to use — not overwhelming, and not written like a catalog.

He reads the guides the way a friend would: is this easy to follow, does it name the real trade-offs, and would it help someone picking a set for a coloring night or a first sketchbook?

What he cares about

Derek likes tools that stay tidy on a shared table and kits that make it easy to start. He pays attention to the details that matter when you are actually making something — tip size, washability, storage, and whether a set is friendly for beginners.

He works with Yumi Ang, who writes the guides. Together they want KawaiiToons to feel like a small studio for people who love cute, practical creative hobbies.
