Sy Chen

Sy Chen (陳希宇) has been folding for more than 40 years. He creates

simple and elegant designs that use clever color-changing or folded

lines to capture the essence of a subject. His love of paper-folding,

geometry puzzles, and shifting shapes runs through his books:

Folding Hearts, Green Origami Gifts, Origami Greetings, and Einstein

Origami. The joy in discovering how origami can communicate, move, and

surprise, brings him inspiration from everywhere.

Sy lives in Rockville, Maryland, with his wife and folds regularly with

the Capital Region Origami Crew near Washington, D.C.
