Xiuping(Monica) Mu is an animator and illustrator based in Toronto, raised in mainland China. 

        She narrates dramatic and innovative plots and navigates social circumstances with a cheerful and comedic visual style. Tragic and cruel stories are her favorite while ironic narrations are also on her list. 

        She tells her stories with frame-by-frame and composited animation, as well as digital illustrations. She loves After Effects and photoshop for the magical visuals that she can achieve but hates them when they decide to crash on her.

       She takes inspirations from movies, anime and video games while spending time on them more than she should. Her dream is to have her own team working on developing fictional universes on screen she created from scratch, or dedicate her efforts into a larger series with trusted team members.
