Biography
Clarke was born in Singapore on July 26, 1979, to a white Australian father and a Han Chinese mother. Her family moved to Maidstone, England, in 1984, when she was 5 years old.

Clarke was obsessed with the history of animation; cats and Felidae in general; and production logos (especially MGM) as a child. Clarke’s father, being a former animator for an Australian studio (Yoram Gross) before moving to Singapore, encouraged her to abandon her primary school education and devote her life to animation. Her mother begrudgingly agreed, but only because she had issues with the British school system. When Clarke was 13, a new TV company known as Meridian Broadcasting opened up in Maidstone, and was looking to hire producers to make CITV programmes. Clarke submitted a half-serious application, not thinking that they would accept a 13-year-old girl as a producer. However, Meridian executives, some of which had formerly worked for a British satellite studio Yoram Gross, recognized her as the daughter of Simon Clarke, and gave her and her father their own production unit, which was named “Insane Clarke’s House of Cartoons”, or “ICHC”. In 1997, Clarke’s father died of lung cancer.

In 1999, Clarke gained full control of ICHC, which had previously been managed through Meridian. (more TBA)
