Alina Chau is a filmmaker, animator, artist and illustrator. She grew up in Hong Kong when it was a British colony. Her art is influenced by Chino-Indonesian origin. She became interested in art as a career path only in college. She was inspired by childhood stories, traditional clothes and art, Asian cuisine and the atmosphere of Hong Kong. She has been admired for her unique storytelling voice, her illustration style and her use of watercolour technique.  As an animator, she created male characters in 3D but later discovered that her true passion is drawing when she joined the Toronto Forest Project art show at Pixar.

The introduction of a friendly dragon is an
