Leah's Fieldnotes

Leah's Fieldnotes is Leah Wei, a vlogger and artist based in San Francisco and Toronto who makes slow-living videos about travel, routines, and self-care. Her YouTube channel has 893,000 subscribers and more than 31 million views as of September 2026. She was born in Shenzhen, China, and has also lived in Montreal.

Leah started with vlogs and fashion hauls in high school and has a background in graphic design. Her videos now cover routines and moving, as well as dating and mental health, topics she has said can feel taboo in Asian communities. YouTube's official blog profiled her in May 2023, and in 2024 she filmed her move back to China after 24 years. Her most-watched video, on clearing her skin, has 2.21 million views.

She runs Friendly Bureau, a shop and creative healing practice that sells her paintings, prints, zines, and art therapy workshops. Hypebae covered "Breadatorial," her bread-based fashion editorial series. Leah also hosts a podcast called Leah's Fieldnotes and posts on Bilibili for Chinese viewers, and she has worked with BetterHelp, Organic Basics, Lingoda, and Switzerland Tourism.
