Xinhui Ma
Studio Founer | Director | Designer
I love building worlds that feel both playful and cinematic. At Umbrella Ma’am, I wear too many hats but wouldn’t have it any other way.
Siyi Chen
Composer | Sound Designer
Sound is the invisible thread that ties every frame together. I bring stories to life through music, textures, and a bit of noise.

 I’m all about energy and timing. Fast cuts, bold moves, and a little bit of chaos.
