Orli Auslander grew up in London and worked as a milliner and radio DJ in New York City before devoting herself full-time to art and writing.

Her work has been shown in the US, England and Spain, and was featured on the Showtime series Happyish.

Her book 'I Feel Bad', was developed into Amy Poehler's NBC sitcom of the same name, on which Orli served as consulting producer. She lives in Los Angeles, which is as close to an insane asylum as she can get without having padded walls.
