Christina, describes herself as a chef, putting together ingredients provided by writers. As a publisher, one cannot live without the other to create something delicious.
Having majored in Western History, she loves literature just to bits, and so devoted her career to it ever since.
Life wasn't easy when she worked in major publishing company, there were times where a team of few people have to put 4 books on the shelf within a month.
The genre and style she worked with sometimes just don't click, having considered that working for herself could give her the space and time needed for high quality work, she started the publishing house- 格子盒作室 gezi workstation in 2012.
The name was two-fold, she was first inspired by the jargon "climbing checks", how writers lay out stories on their checked sheet; not least how she is only one piece in the puzzle as she works with contributors, designers and so on.
The years spent in the industry has made her many friends who have impressive stories to tell. Besides the Lifestyle books, where cities and cultures are explored, she was aspired to inspire the local youth.
Knowing Connie as a good friend, the very bright pianist who has defected every defects in her life, they co-created a biography to tell her bumpy life journey last year that was sold really well.
Many have doubted whether the print media can survive in such adverse environment, holding the beliefs that what they have created worths being gathered on paper and exist for many years to come, Christina has also published another line that's tailor-made for the mass, so as to complement the others for the niche.
Till 2018, she has published more than 20 books that her audience are very happy with:)
