Aku calls a dozen places home. Born in India, raised in the middle east, pottered around Australia for a while, now living in Vienna, Austria with her husband and house plants. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Media and Communication and a Master's degree in Multimedia Design. After a 7-year career in design, web programming and digital strategy, she gave it all up to pursue her dream of writing. She's a millennial. You can tell, can't you? Her stories are inspired by cultural conflict, problems in physics, mythology, pop culture, and all the wonderful weirdos she has met during her travels. In her free time, she consumes copious amounts of books, movies, anime, podcasts and TV shows. If you bring up philosophical conundrums raised by Star Trek, cultural symbology in Studio Ghibli movies, or the latest episode of Radiolab, you better have a few hours to kill. Basic courtesy. Aku also enjoys spicy dim sums, adventurous holidays, wild dancing, and long walks through the multiverse.
