LUI

    I've always known the power of a good story. It's how I connect with people, make friends, entertain, spark thought, and teach lessons. From a young age, I gravitated toward comedy. As I developed my comedic voice, I became increasingly interested in expressing it through animation and art. My work is rooted in the absurdity of everyday life and the quirks of human nature.

 

  I’m largely self-taught. My sense of humor was shaped in high school, where I also began to take art more seriously. That time helped me cultivate a strong sense of self-awareness and a love for observational humor.

 

    College helped refine my artistic abilities, but I often felt creatively constrained by academic "red tape." Much of my growth happened outside the classroom—through drawing constantly and creating small games on Roblox. I believe this combination of formal training and independent exploration has given me a solid foundation for a career in animation. In 2022, I was honored to be accepted into the University of Central Florida’s prestigious Experimental Animation program, which recognized my dedication & potential.

 

    I take pride in my relentless work ethic and my post-failure determination. I'm always pushing myself to improve my drawing, animation, and storytelling. My goal is to create work that’s funny, thought-provoking, emotionally expressive, and leaves a lasting impression to my audience, peers, and mentors.
