What I do: Developing the 2D Production Program
​What I am: ​First Generation Taiwanese Immigrant

Theresa is the 2D Production Program Producer for the Animation Industry Immersive Lab at Asians in Animation. Her work consists of creating program schedules and organizing internal communications.

Theresa grew up watching animated movies and shows, but the medium didn’t click with her until she discovered experimental 90s MTV animation such as The Maxx (1995) and Aeon Flux (1991). That’s when she realized the potential of animation used in strange, macabre settings that both pushes the limits of what live action is capable of, and how applicable it is for mature audiences.

She is currently working as a Social Recreation Program Assistant, while freelancing as an Indie Game Development Artist. In spite of her enjoyment of program coordination, she aspires to hop onto the creative side, and be a storyboard artist who tells horror stories with a grown up target audience one day!
​
Fun Fact: Theresa has a collection of dead oddities that is her pride and joy. It contains: 35+ beetles, 20 butterflies, 5 cicadas, 5 chicken hearts, 4 barbies welded together, 2 tarantulas, and a jawbone of something she doesn’t remember.
