I’m Yuhao, a Chinese animation director, animator, and illustrator based in London. I’m passionate about character-driven storytelling, visual atmosphere, and emotionally resonant narratives.
During my MA in Animation at UAL (2024–2025) and my BA in Illustration at OCAD University (2020–2024), I developed a range of self-initiated animated short films, illustration and picture book series, and collaborative documentary projects. My work explores a world that sits between reality and absurdity, using narrative to uncover characters’ inner lives. Delicate character portrayal, atmospheric environments, and a poetic sense of rhythm are central tools in my storytelling practice.
Depending on the project, I adapt to a wide range of visual styles and work across both design and animation production stages, contributing to script discussions and early project development.
