Sebastien Smith, writer

A picture of me, Sebastien Smith, standing in Da'an Forest Park.

I'm a content designer and writer based in Taipei.

​​

I've worked in Asia's tech scene for almost ten years, where I've helped companies make their products and services sound more human.

​

Alongside content design, I write about culture, history, and social change across the Chinese-speaking world. My long-form work has appeared in Mekong Review and No Man is an Island.
