Hi! My name is Vivian, and I'm a background designer based in sunny southern California.

Biography

Born and raised in SoCal, I am currently in my last year of school at Cal State Fullerton. I will be graduating with a BFA in Art with a concentration in Entertainment Art/Animation. My goal is to become a background designer for kids' television animation in order to share the same joy I experienced watching cartoons growing up! There are so many stories to be told through environments and objects decorating a scene.
