Hello, my name is Vivi and I've always had a passion for art and animation. I loved watching animated movies and playing video games as a child and often wondered "How did they make this?" As an adult, I became a student of the arts and studied the fundamentals of drawing and practiced using digital applications like Adobe Photoshop.

I've spent years honing my skills, studying different techniques and learning new computer applications as they were released. Now, I am continuing my higher education in pursuit of a degree in animation and 3D modeling. My traditional art experience includes pencil work, colored pencil and acrylic / gouache paints. For my digital work, I use Clip Studio Paint, Affinity Designer & Adobe Photoshop. Because of my ongoing education, I now have experience with Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and Autodesk Maya.

My top priority as a tutor will always be the comfort of my students. Many students can become nervous when drawing because of their skill level or past criticisms of their work. I will provide a positive and constructive environment for students to express their creativity, ask questions, progress at their own pace and ultimately improve their artistic abilities.
