HSIAO PEI


KAO
Hi there! I'm Hsiao, a 3D creative based in Germany, originally from Taiwan. My journey into the world of 3D art began with a deep love for dynamic animations and the stories they can tell.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of anime, the intricate designs found in movies, and the futuristic realms of sci-fi, I blend fantasy and reality seamlessly in my creations.


I earned my degree in Media Art and Design, focusing on 3D modeling and animation, from Bauhaus University. Throughout my studies and career, I gained extensive hands-on experiences which continually built upon to enhance both the visual and conceptual aspects of my projects.

Learning is like a sailor’s journey to me – always moving forward with the flow of time. Flexibility and resilience are my trusted companions, helping me adapt and grow. I thrive on collaboration and continuous learning, which keeps my passion for 3D art alive and vibrant.

I focus on creating visually stunning projects that are deeply engaging, weaving experiences and stories that resonate.
