Hey there, I’m Taylor Zientek, the story writer behind my book, “Komorebi.” Growing up in the small town of Deer Park, New York, I found my voice not in words but through the strokes of visual art. I pursued visual arts in high school and college, which helped me find myself. However, I didn’t make it my career. I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stony Brook University and a master’s degree in early childhood education from St. Joseph’s College.

Anime and manga became my muse, sparking a creative journey that inspired me to write my book. From crafting my cousin’s Nagato portrait to immersing myself in the anime universe, every stroke and story reflects my persistent dream – to see my tale become an anime and a light for anime fans. Join me on this journey where hope, faith, and love intertwine and help people learn.
