Luao Liu, a New York-based 2D animator, takes immense pleasure in dedicating herself to her craft, passionately hoping that her animations will spread joy and delight to all who see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your creative background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a 2D animator living and working in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a very early age, I held a deep fascination for the world of artistic creation. Fortunately, my family was incredibly supportive and open-minded which encouraged me to pursue my studies in the United States. When it came time to choose my major, I didn’t want to limit myself to just illustration, so I decided to delve into the realm of animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing my undergraduate studies, I gained some practical experience by working alongside friends and a documentary filmmaker. During this period, I came to a realization that my professional skills needed further refinement. This realization prompted me to pursue a master’s degree which is considered a terminal degree in the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon obtaining my master’s degree, I embarked on my journey as an independent artist. Each day, I find immense joy in dedicating myself to the work I am passionate about, with the hope that my animations can bring happiness and delight to everyone who experiences them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work as a 2D animation designer and my responsibilities encompasses creating intricate frame-by-frame animations tailored for television shows and advertising agencies. In addition to animation, I also play a pivotal role in storyboarding for animated films and crafting the backgrounds that form the backdrop for these captivating animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does creativity mean to you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a creator, maintaining a sharp creative instinct and a knack for innovation requires an unwavering commitment to consistently engage in creative work without interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, creativity is akin to tending to a delicate plant. It flourishes gradually and necessitates my devoted attention day in and day out, spanning across many years. The fruits of my labor may not manifest immediately, but it’s the neglect and idleness that can swiftly wither the once-vibrant potential of a poorly nurtured plant. That’s how I perceive the essence of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a ‘creative’ idea and\/or design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of transforming creativity into design through practice necessitates creators to consistently engage in their craft, embrace errors as learning opportunities, welcome constructive criticism, perpetually refine their work, and, above all, commit to continuous practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
