Hi, I'm Annie Wong, also known as Headexplodie!

I create fun stories through animations, sculptures, and illustrations that aim to evoke warm, fuzzy, and delightfully weird feelings. I’ve collaborated with notable clients like Adult Swim, Vans, Giphy, The New York Times, and The Greater Good Science Center, bringing my unique flavor of soft absurdity to each project.

Beyond my commercial art, I'm passionate about teaching and public speaking, using these platforms to empower people to express themselves creatively. I see art as a playful form of self-care and a wonderful way to reconnect with your inner child.

When I’m not working in the studio, you can find me singing and jamming on my electric ukulele, dabbling in tarot, or practicing improv.

🤝 Wanna work together?
