She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Saint Mary's College of California and a BA in English from Rice University. Emily is also a musician and composer. She delights in painting with words and with sounds. April Chu began her career as an architect, but then decided to return to her true passion of illustrating and storytelling.

April lives and works in Oakland, California.
