Picture Coming! Saya Signs was born in State College, Pennsylvania in 1989. She lived in Central Pennsylvania until she was fourteen, when her father accepted a job in Logan, Utah. Shortly after moving cross-country, family emergencies on her mother's side of the family brought her to Japan for a year, during which time she attended the American School in Japan. She hopes to study commercial and multimedia design at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia after graduating from high school in 2007.

Saya wrote the children's book Kayta's Discovery in seventh grade as an English assignment. When Saya's grandmother, Keiko Takai, saw the book, she immediately took interest, translated the English text into Japanese and took it to Shimpusha, a Japanese publisher. The book was released as a bilingual picture book in the spring of 2005.

Although in Japan she has spent most of her time doing school work and helping out around the house, Saya enjoys creating websites, doodling, listening to music, reading, and playing piano and guitar.
