About APSARA L.L.

Hello, I’m Leakhena Ly, a storyteller, creative director, and founder of APSARA L.L., an art and creative studio based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Rooted in Cambodia, reaching the world.

My journey began with a simple realization. Despite Cambodia’s rich culture, history, and beauty, much of the world still knows very little about it. That realization became my purpose.

I published my debut English novel, Almost Love: A Past-Life Destiny, for an international audience. The book has received early recognition, including a 4-star editorial review from Reedsy Discovery in the United Kingdom and selection as a Quarter-Finalist in the Pulp Literature First Page Cage in Canada. This marks the beginning of its journey into the global literary space.

Through my work, I blend romance, culture, travel, and emotional truth to create contemporary stories that go beyond love alone. They reflect real life, human connection, and the choices that shape who we become.

My Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Business Administration and have professional experience in business development and management. This foundation allows me to approach creativity not only as an art, but as a platform that can grow, sustain, and create real impact.

My Mission

• To bring Khmer culture, art, and storytelling to a global audience
• To create meaningful stories that explore love, self-worth, and life decisions
• To inspire the next generation, especially young Cambodians, to engage with English literature and connect with the world
• To build a creative platform that empowers others through storytelling, art, and innovation
