On her career as a Chinese Canadian female director, Shi says that through her work as a filmmaker, she strives for the industry to reach the point where people are identified first as artists, and second by gender and ethnicity, stating that it gets old fast when she gets asked how it feels to be an Asian woman. "My first identity is that I'm a nerd! I just wanted to make something that I could nerd out about with my colleagues and friends, and share with other nerdy people around the world."<ref name=":4" />

''Elio'' will be Shi's next project before her next as-of-yet untitled original film.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Drew |date=August 10, 2024 |title=Pixar Chief Pete Docter Talks New 'Elio' Directors, Story and Casting Changes {{!}} Exclusive |url=https://www.thewrap.com/elio-pixar-new-directors-story-cast-changes-pete-docter/ |access-date=August 10, 2024 |website=TheWrap |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Influences==
Shi is influenced by her father's art, as he was her art teacher while growing up. "Like, I asked him what he thought [of the film] and he said, 'I really liked it, but I also have notes for you.' And I was like, Ah, that's my classic dad," Shi said.<ref name=":3" />

In an interview with ''[[Now (newspaper)|Now Magazine]]'', Shi said that the animated films ''[[My Neighbors the Yamadas]]'' (1999) and ''[[Spirited Away]]'' (2001) were her influences when creating ''Bao''.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wilner|first1=Norman|title=Toronto-raised Pixar director bows with Bao|url=https://nowtoronto.com/movies/features/bao-pixar-domee-shi-toronto/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307194132/https://nowtoronto.com/movies/news-features/bao-pixar-domee-shi-toronto|archive-date=March 7, 2022|accessdate=September 15, 2018|work=Now|date=June 15, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Her parents, however, were her biggest influences when directing ''Bao.''<ref>{{Citation |title=Domee Shi ('Bao') on her parents' influence on Animated Short contender {{!}} GOLD DERBY |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOGHJRtR1Y |access-date=2024-03-19 |language=en}}</ref> Shi notes that her mother's overprotectiveness towards her when she was young was the major inspiration for the animated short, and particularly for the ending, in which Shi says, "I wanted to use this short as a way to explore that relationship between an over-protective mom and a baby dumpling and show how the bittersweetness of letting something go even though you love it so much."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bright |first=Charles |date=2018-12-26 |title=Domee Shi ('Bao') on her parents' influence for Animated Short contender [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW] |url=https://www.goldderby.com/article/2018/domee-shi-bao-pixar-animated-short-video-interview-news/ |access-date=2024-03-19 |website=GoldDerby |language=en-US}}</ref>

For ''Turning Red'', Shi was inspired by the teenage girl's experience in navigating adolescence and all the weirdness that comes with it, incorporating her own personal experiences and aspects of her hometown, Toronto.<ref name="Landau"/> In an interview with ''[[The New York Times]]'', Shi says, "It's a side of teen girls that you never got to see. We are just as awkward and sweaty and lusty and excited as any boy."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Barnes |first=Brooks |date=March 7, 2022 |title=With 'Turning Red,' a Big Red Panda Helps Break a Glass Ceiling |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/movies/turning-red-movie-interview-domee-shi.html |website=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> For the film, Shi was also inspired to include a more diverse cast, with an article by ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' stating as such: "Shi was also vigilant about creating a diverse cast of human characters to surround Mei, including her Chinese Canadian family and multicultural Asian friends."<ref name="vanityfair.com">{{Cite magazine |date=2022-03-09 |title=With Turning Red, Domee Shi Explores Uncharted Animated Waters |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/03/domee-shi-turning-red-pixar-interview |access-date=2024-03-19 |magazine=Vanity Fair |language=en-US}}</ref> During production, Shi was also careful to avoid the trope of 'characters of color being turned into nonhuman forms' in ''Turning Red'' by giving the giant red panda that Mei turns into a metaphorical meaning. Shi says it's "a metaphor for all the messiness inside of her that wants to come out."<ref name="vanityfair.com"/> Through the unique representation she provides in her films, and her additionally unique perspective as a Chinese Canadian director, ''Turning Red'' is effective in speaking to adolescent girls, especially adolescent girls of color, in letting your inner weird shine.

Shi says that most of her ideas come from specific cultures around her. Because audiences started to appreciate other stories with different background and culture after ''[[Sanjay's Super Team]]'' and ''[[Coco (2017 film)|Coco]]'', Shi thinks it important to draw upon various sources and backgrounds in order to create uniqueness in film.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}
