As an artist, Olivia Lin finds inspiration in experimenting with different mediums to push their storytelling capabilities as much as possible. She grew up in New Jersey but a lot of her vivid childhood memories are from summers spent visiting family in China. While visiting, she studied traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy with her grandfather and it inspired a lot of the visual language behind her work. After she graduates, she'd love to develop a short film painted on Xuan paper.

Born and raised in Taiwan, Muling Tzai studied in eSwatini and later focused on learning animation in Florida. She often draws inspiration from conversations, as well as from observing both the heavy and light aspects of human experience. Her sketchbooks are filled with houses, trees, and furniture. In her free time, you can find her watching movies, drinking milk, and begging friends to play Bridge with her.
