Ivyy is a Taiwanese director, animator and illustrator living in London where she graduated with a BA in illustration and Animation from Kingston University. Prior to this, she studied in BFA Multimedia and Animation Art at the National Taiwan University of Arts.
Using 2D Animation as the primary medium, she focuses on storytelling and visual thinking. She enjoys digging into unexpected subjects and turning them into something fun and inspiring. Her use of symbolism and colour allows her to challenge a deeper message on sensitive subjects and trigger a different perspective for her audiences to re-evaluate their perceptions.
