“I’ve always loved storytelling and conveying ideas through visual language, and animation and illustration offer the perfect tools to create entire worlds around those ideas,” says Chu-Chieh Lee.

Originally from Taiwan, the London-based animation director and illustrator has built up an expansive portfolio over the last few years, working with high-profile clients ranging from BBC Wildlife and Red Bull through to Wired.

Having studied multimedia and animation art at the National Taiwan University of Art, Lee started her career at a design studio, before changing gears to become an independent illustrator and animator.
