Sean Y. Li 李宇軒 was born to a Taiwanese immigrant and a Chinese (Cantonese/Taishanese) immigrant in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he spent most of his early life except for a short time in Guangzhou, China. Growing up surrounded by different languages sparked his interest in language itself and eventually led him to obtain a degree in linguistics from the University of California, Davis. Sean has played active roles in Taiwanese, Taiwanese-American, and queer communities and has experience translating for research in public education, as well as Classical Chinese poetry.
