Meng-Chia’s work is playful, colourful and emotional. Her inspirations comes from things she
collects from everyday life. “I often walk with a mind full of inspirations from the things
I see, it can be as little as a smell from a passing stranger to a dog waiting for its owner
outside of the supermarket.”

She enjoys being the set designer, casting director and the director in her images, creating
images that inspire others. She is completing her MA at the Royal College of Art in June 2008.
