Shao is a Taiwanese visual storyteller who creates illustrations and books. She holds an MA in Sequential Design/Illustration from the University of Brighton. Her debut author-illustrator picture book, The Crow and the Cherry Blossom, was published by Hsin Yi Publications in Taiwan and translated into Polish and Simplified Chinese. In addition to publishing, she creates illustrations for editorial projects.

​

Her work revolves around time, memory, and identity. It explores ways to transform intangible emotions and experiences into atmospheric visual narratives. Deeply inspired by Japanese aesthetics, her delicate, multilayered illustrations evoke moods of nostalgia and magical realism.

​

When not creating art, Shao spends her time stroking cats, meditating, reading, watching indie films, or taking long walks through Taipei.
