Hi, I'm Locke!

Malaysian Chinese | she/her | Aroace | 24 y/o | C-PTSD survivor | LGBTQIA+

Locke (or Ashley, depending on where you met her first) thinks that the third-person writing style is really weird and pretentious but in a bad way because tbh she's actually quite a pretentious person by nature. 

​

But anyways, yes, hi. 

​

I like to make stuff, and I think the proof of my existence is in every little thing I create, so it's hard to acknowledge my life as well-lived unless I'm able to see the fruits of my labour. That's why I made this website -- because stuff like Artstation and Deviantart and Twitter kept going to shit and I didn't have a good way to look at every aspect of myself that I've put out there to the world. Here, at least, I have full control and am able to share all the weird and different practices I've picked up over the course of my life. So many things. All parts of me. 

​

This website is mainly for my hobbies! I have a Bachelors in Computing Systems and really enjoy administrative work, but my professional life is going to be kept somewhere else.

​

I've spent so much of my life as an immigrant, a foreigner, that I think I've come to dislike trying to describe myself into an efficient and respectable sentence that proves my worth. How would other people describe me...

Creative? Hardworking? Nice?

I am all those things, but I'm more than that. I'm a complex person that's spent much too much of my life trying to put my best foot forwards so I wouldn't get rejected. It was for survivals sake, for the promise of a better life, because getting rejected means getting disowned, deported.

​

But in December 2022, I received my resident visa and can now stay indefinitely in Aotearoa, New Zealand :)

​

My goal in life is to be content. I'm not a very ambitious person, and am happy so long as I can work and earn my fill, and do the things I like.

​

I think I'm headed in the right direction.

The Lockery is my small business that I started in 2021, selling polymer clay crafts I've made by hand. I started off selling earrings, but I'm starting to branch off into less gendered options such as keychains, phone grips, and pins. 

​

I try to focus on local art markets as I much prefer the vibe and presentation, but feel free to check out my products online as well!
