Life is where I share the stories behind my work, the people who inspire me and the moments that continue shaping who I am. I believe great stories, in all forms, including animation, begin with people.

The most meaningful part of my work has never been a single project. It's the friendships that grow over time, the conversations that spark new ideas, the moments of encouragement, and the joy of watching people discover their creative voices.

Whether I'm teaching, moderating, making art or simply spending time with friends, I love bringing people together. I believe creativity flourishes when we share experiences, celebrate one another, and create spaces where everyone feels welcome.

This page is a collection of the moments that make me smile: the people I meet, the places I explore, the little adventures in between, and the everyday reminders that creativity is all around us. They continue to inspire my work and remind me why I love being part of this creative community. Those moments are the reason I do what I do.

After all, community isn't something we find. It's something we build together.

Maybe it’s the state of the world. Maybe it’s the state of the industry. Or maybe it was simply the brutal heat we endured all week. Whatever the reason, this year’s @annecyfestival became a week of asking friends we might only see
Last week, I had the honor of being a speaker at 2026 @vision_get_wild (策進會年度放視大賞), an inspiring annual gathering that connects talent with global industry leaders across animation, games, VFX, media, and technology. This opportunity came through my
“You’re back. That is everything.” 回來就好 This was the quiet theme of 2025. I did not know how much those words could hold. Now I carry them with me into 2026, ready to offer them back to those beside me. We are here again. And being
The tiny fairies slip between roots and shadows of giant trees, dancing and singing along their hidden paths. They appear only when they feel like it, carrying the pure joy of being found. And honestly, so do we. Huge thanks to wise Antonio for reve
This year at @annecyfestival , I sat next to @rebeccasugar at the @wia.animation luncheon. It was not the first time we had met, but it was the first time we shared a meal together. I desperately wanted to invite her back to meet our @svanyc students
So much joy seeing our @svanyc @svabfaanimation @sva3danimationvfx family blooming at @lightboxexpo ! Our students becoming artists, alumni finding their voices, and teachers shining with their own creations. Every smile and spark filled me with prid
@lightboxexpo is a swirl of art, heart, and the people who make both shine. No levels, no ladders, just all of us on the same floor, mingling, giggling, discovering, and falling in love again with the beauty of creation and the souls behind the scree
We are taught to face ahead but what if ahead isn’t where our hearts dream to reside? Let’s turn away gently and bravely for just a brief moment to feel alive. Then, we go wherever we want!
Thirteen @annecyfestival trips in, and this one felt lighter, warmer, and full of heart. Emotions ran wild; laughing one minute, crying the next. I was lucky to be surrounded by dreamers who live for stories and breathe animation like it is pure joy.
Two weeks ago, I had the honor of sending off the Class of 2025, our largest graduating class yet. They hold a very special place in my heart because we experienced so many “firsts” together, including our new labs, an updated curriculum,
Still caught between seasons, while Mother Earth holds her breath. A moment suspended between what has passed and what is yet to come. Like petals on water, we float, but not aimlessly. The turning of seasons happens seamlessly and gently, yet the wo
The earth beneath us hums with an energy older than time itself. Here, we just are. Let go and be. May we never forget how much magic surrounds us. May we always return to ourselves and each other, no matter how far we roam.
