animation & design -



I believe everything exists to belong.


To a place, a time, to each other.


Through animation, storytelling, and teaching, I strive to connect odds and ends to explore where my home is in this imperfect world.


My practice centers on bringing light to intersecting identities I embody as an Asian American Artist in the queer and autistic communities.


BIO

Born in Arkansas to Wuhanese parents, Rae could move long before she could speak. After spending her childhood in the suburbs of the Midwest, she relocated to San Francisco to begin a six year career in software engineering.


During this time, she experimented with sculpture and fiber art through local studios and art communities in Taiwan. There she became fascinated with Taoism, Intersectionality and Jungian psychology.


When the pandemic forced her to stay in place, she transitioned to digital motion. In 2023, she moved to Stockholm where she currently studies at Hyper Island’s Motion Creative program.

I am currently based in Stockholm, where I am happily surrounded by a forest, a piano, and many jars of kombucha.
