Director Biography - Insun Park, Jin Pei Lua

Insun Park is a story artist and 3D sculptor. She was born in South

Korea and raised in sunny California. In the summer, she ate a lot of

sweet oranges plucked from the tree in her backyard.

She has always enjoyed telling stories and she is inspired to make all

kinds of art because it is fun! She feels very lucky to be able to

pursue what she loves as a career.

Insun chose to attend Ringling College hoping to hone her skills. As a

student, she started a cooking club, was featured in Best of Ringling,

and was a Trustee Scholar nominee. She also spent a summer as a

sculpting intern for Hasbro after a workshop hosted by Ringling.

After her time as a student, she feels ready to further develop her

skills. She learned that it is important to be a balanced individual, and

that the oranges in Florida taste just as sweet


Hello! My name is Jin, and I am a 3D animator!

I was born and raised in the island city of Singapore. One day, when I

was a child, I noticed my older sister doodling on a piece of paper,

and that kick-started my passion for creating art and animations.

Apart from making art, I also love video games (role-playing, story

rich games are my favorite), eating, reading books, creating

characters and writing stories very much!

I am inspired to achieve authenticity and specificity in both my art and

animation, I believe that this will help me reach further heights and

develop my artistic style as I go on this journey.

Before Ringling, I was a Junior Animator in Bandai Namco Studios

Singapore, and worked on the Ace Combat 7 project! I was

responsible for cinematics and asset animation during my time there,

working closely with my coworkers to achieve the project’s vision. I

decided to attend Ringling because I want to broaden my horizons, to

see how far I can develop and grow both as an artist and a person. Some awards I have earned include the Dean's Scholarship, as well as having my works featured in Best of Ringling.
