Her work is vibrant, whimsical, and full of charm. Through soft, rounded shapes and rich, colorful palettes, she crafts imaginative worlds and stories inspired by nature, plants, animals, dreams, ceramics and everyday life. With refined technique and a keen eye for movement, Chu brings her illustrations to life in seamless GIFs, animated clips, and short films.
Her 2023 short film Minus Plus Multiply has received several international awards, and screening at over 50 prestigious festivals worldwide, including Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Animafest Zagreb, and Golden Horse Film Festival in Taiwan.
