Tusitala is a Singapore-based digital storytelling studio that creates novel literary experiences. We produce creative projects that are interactive, fun, and meaningful, reimagining the future of reading where art meets tech. Our team of arts managers, designers and web developers work with partners on programmes, events, and social impact storytelling to inspire curiosity.

Tusitala started in 2010 and is based in Singapore. It means “teller of tales” in Samoan. It was the nickname given to author Robert Louis Stevenson by the locals of Samoa, where he spent the last years of his life telling stories. Our work embodies the essence of a storyteller: using different mediums and techniques to deliver a powerful message to audiences.

Our logo is a kitsune, an enchanted nine-tailed fox that casts spells of illusion and designs rich worlds that the others see, feel and perceive as real. Inspired by its intelligence, mischievousness, and shape-shifting abilities, Tusitala’s values are knowledge, creative rebellion, and versatility.

Christine

Christine is the publisher at Tusitala, and used to work in arts management and academic publishing. She appreciates strong writing in all forms – especially stage plays, video and board games, and satire – and is always looking to pick up random skills.

Vaibhav

Vaibhav is an open-sourced full stack developer and is hooked on minimalism. He also likes to tell quirky, witty jokes – which are, more often than, not funny – and exaggerate details when telling stories.

Rina

Rina is the super efficient, highly organised soul who oversees the day-to-day operations of Tusitala’s ebook projects. Be it through baking or crafts, she takes joy in spreading sunshine to those around her.
