Ralph Lazar was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and studied law and economics at the University of Cape Town and the London School of Economics. After several years of working in finance, Ralph moved with his wife-to-be Lisa Swerling to a tiny island in the Seychelles (population of 52), where they started their illustration licensing business Last Lemon. Later based in London and now northern California, Ralph and Lisa's book projects include Happiness Is..., which has been translated into over 20 languages and has over 3 million followers online, and the New York Times bestseller, Me Without You.
