Stella So is a graduate of the School of Design of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Her debut project Very Fantastic, an animation illustrating the life in old districts, has impressed many viewers and received numerous awards. Claiming it is all because she cannot draw straight lines, she often draws with curves, recording and re-creating the daily scenes of the community with paints and a sketchbook.
