My Story

I’m Ling, a 3D artist and animator with a focus on storytelling through visuals.

My journey began with a fascination for animated films — not just how they look, but how they feel. I studied computer animation, interned at Walt Disney Animation Studios, and later joined MAKE, where I now work as a full-time 3D Generalist. My work includes modeling, lighting, animation, and compositing, often across multiple disciplines within a project.

As much as I enjoy the technical side, I’m equally invested in what stories are trying to say. In my thesis film, I told a story about a robot rebelling for freedom—not just as a sci-fi premise, but as a metaphor for longing and resistance. That balance between craft and meaning continues to shape how I approach my work.

Recently, I’ve started to explore another field that’s long intrigued me: psychology. I volunteer with a mental health hotline, and I’m studying cognitive science with hopes of one day combining these two paths—art and understanding.

This website is a reflection of both craft and curiosity—past projects, and the directions I’m still figuring out.
