PeiHsin Cho /ˈpɛ ʃɪn ˌdʒɔ/
PeiHsin is a Taiwanese visual storyteller with a particular focus on illustration and animation, currently based in London.
Her work is narrative-based and revolves around sentimentalism and introspection. She combines traditional and digital mediums to depict a variety of inward feelings that attempt to transcribe subtle emotions into tangible and visually tactile images. Personal sentiments are always present in Pei’s atmospheric drawings, wrapped with rational narration to catalyse intimate subjective experiences and memory fragments. Her personal and commissioned works can be seen in many magazines, publications and international film festivals.
Also, she is hopelessly addicted to cat and tea.

生於台灣桃園，畢業於台北藝術大學動畫系(學士)與英國皇家藝術學院視覺傳達與插畫系(碩士)。目前為插畫與動畫工作者並居住於倫敦。茶與貓咪是生活必需品。
作品常以自身情感經歷來切入不同議題，透過理性將感性包裝，以溫柔並隱晦的視覺敘事語言，細膩地描繪情緒的質地，並與之觀者產生連結。作品曾受多項國際獎項認可，並可見於不同雜誌、刊物與國際影展。其作品Crown Shyness (樹冠羞避)曾榮獲2020年桃園插畫金獎、2021年波隆納BCBF-SM插畫大獎，並於2022年由西班牙Grupo SM出版繪本El Pescador y Su Alma (漁夫與他的靈魂)。
