Born in Taiwan and raised in Los Angeles, Jane found an early outlet in comic books, where she discovered a passion for storytelling and art. Her skills led her to the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, but upon graduating with a degree in Fashion, she was presented with an opportunity to work in animation. Starting as a character designer, she eventually directed and produced such animated series as MEN IN BLACK and JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES. Janeʻs unique background has made her an in-demand collaborator and she has built a formidable career in film and television that spans multiple genres. Inspired by her martial arts background, she has boarded action sequences for features such as MULAN, SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, and multiple Marvel movies including THE AVENGERS and SHANG CHI. Her series credits include GAME OF THRONES, THE WALKING DEAD, and INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE. She has worked with the likes of David Chase and Alan Taylor, among many others. As one of the few women in a predominantly male industry, she also has had the pleasure of mentoring young artists at her alma mater, UCLA, and the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.
