Ivy Wong founded Ripple Foundation. She launched Kids Write 4 Kids creative challenge in 2012 as a not-for-profit initiative. Drawing on her design skills and creativity, she illustrated and designed each book cover during the program’s early years. As Kids Write 4 Kids established its presence, Ivy sought out talented illustrators who shared her mission. These artists generously donated their time, collaborating with her to bring a fresh perspective to the artistic aspects of the project.

Today, Ivy works with talented illustrators to design each book covers. Their collective effort ensures that the book covers remain visually appealing and accurate to the Ripple Foundation’s philanthropic mission.
