About Kora Reydgar

Kora is an avid devourer of art and science, omnivore of music, storyteller of role-playing games, World of Darkness fan, gamer and an anxious traveler. She can’t survive without a daily dose of “Lady Grey” tea and her intense memory for details can sometimes make her seem like a stalker.

A curious mixture of cultures, Kora is Russian by descent but grew up in Austria while being obsessed with the Japanese way of life since early childhood. She always had a strong appetite for both the logical and the creative, and she completed two Master degrees – one in Software Engineering and one in Creative Writing – to appease both of her sides. Inspired by her own background her award-winning Master thesis explored the issues in intercultural communication.

This, as well as her personal experience with trauma and therapy, shaped her interest in understanding human psyche. In her work she explores the more sensitive and darker subjects of sexuality and violence, and, utilizing her accumulated knowledge, her research skills and her connections with mental health professionals, strives to find and expose the illusive logic behind emotions.
