Sharon Chong
Our intrepid photographer for the fashion spread in
this edition of Playtimes braved the wilderness for
this photo shoot. By day, as our lead designer, she
is the incredible talent behind the lovely designs
and layout in this very magazine. By night she
is a watercolor artist, illustrator, calligrapher and
stationery designer with her own business—
www.sckcart.com . She finds inspiration for her art in
botanicals, patterns and her pet bunny! Sharon is an animal lover and enjoys
drawing pet portraits too. Sharon studied Commercial Design at CUHK where
she learned photography in addition to painting, sketching and 5 design subjects
including fashion, jewelry, interior, graphic and 3D animation. She spends her
weekends sharing her creativity by teaching children, and sometimes adults, acrylic
painting techniques. We very much value her talent here at Playtimes.

Angela Baura
Angela was born and bred in not-so-sunny
England where she spent her childhood years
performing on stage, writing poetry and reading
books. Engrossed in the world of words, she
forgot to apply to universities. She hastily copied
her friend’s application forms and found herself
studying information technology for three tedious
years. After an uninspiring stint in IT consulting,
she parted ways with programming and pursued a rewarding career in Public
Relations. In 2006, Angela and her husband moved to Hong Kong where she now
spends her adult years performing multiple roles as a mother of three, a writer and
communications strategist, and a book-devouring addict.
