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.

Starting as a character designer, she eventually directed and produced such animated series as Men in Black and Jackie Chan Adventures. Today, 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, Into the Spiderverse, and multiple Marvel movies including The Avengers and Shang Chi. Her series credits include Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Interview with a Vampire, and House of the Dragon. 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 and working professionals, UCLA, and the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. Most recently, she was nominated for a 2024 Peabody Award in the Entertainment category.
