Hsiao Ru-Ho
A proactive, enterprising, diligent person approaching all tasks with responsibility and maturity.
My adaptable nature, strong interpersonal skills, and interdisciplinary background make me highly effective in collaborating with diverse individuals to successfully achieve team objectives.
A third-year graduate student majoring in Technical Design at Taipei National University of the Arts.
Her undergraduate background is in German Language and Culture. After graduating, she started my theater career as crew member. Over the years, she has gained experience in various roles such as technical interpreter, assistant stage manager, and video engineer.
After working for two years, she decided to further my studies and enrolled at Taipei National University of the Arts. During her studies, she served as technical director for at least 10 productions. From technical design and budgeting to production and performance, she has been personally involved in every aspect.
Among all the tasks involved in production, she is particularly interested in the process of scenery and prop making. She enjoy discovering and learning new techniques and methods, as well as improving and innovating existing ones. The process to success has always fascinated her.
In 2024, she was accepted as a Props Intern at Yale University, aiming to expand her expertise in prop-making, material applications, and surface treatments. Through this experience, she hopes to further develop her craft and continue contributing her skills to the entertainment and arts industry.
