This week, Nigel welcomes Mori Mori Studio Co-founder Mandy Wong to discuss her journey into the world of animation. We delve deep into her upbringing in Hong Kong and how she used her artistic skills to communicate and express herself in a new country.
We then explore the path that led her to create the pre-school show Millie and Lou. Mandy explains how the impact of early friendships influenced the story being told today. Additionally, Mandy reveals what she learned from multiple rejected pitches and how she navigates having a significant other as a business partner.
