Hi! We are Elisa and Li Ling—two friends who love making stories.

In The Making is a collection of stories that we’ve made about people who love making things. It’s a passion project which aims to shine a little spot-light on the artists and makers in our community, and to unveil some of their processes, ideas, and back-stories.

This is also a personal creative project for us: a synchronized dive into our own artistic deep ends, as we explore the process of story-telling in ways which may be new to the both of us.

We hope that our images and stories will freeze-frame some of the elusive, quicksilver energy of creativity that fires the act of making.

Thank you for reading what we’ve made!

Love,
Elisa (the one who usually writes the words)
Li Ling (the one who always wields the camera)
