Heyho! I’m Viv.
My background is a bit of a hybrid: I started with a focus on Physics and Graphic Design, which pretty much set the tone for my career. I don’t just want things to look good; I want to understand the mechanics underneath. That’s why I teach myself to code my own projects and why I’m currently obsessing over the analog craft of silversmithing. It’s all about that balance of high-level precision and creative experimentation.

I’m a big believer in immersion. My design practice has been shaped by a "nomadic" lifestyle—moving between the tech-heavy energy of the San francisco Bay Area, the raw landscapes of Norway, and the emerging creative scene in Tirana, Albania. I’ve spent the last few years freelancing from all over and figuring out how to make "minimalism" feel human.

What I’m doing right now: I’ve traded the Bay Area fog for the glacier vibes of Iceland. I’m currently finalizing my thesis — a deep dive into vinyl records and the materiality of sound.

If you want to talk about UX, interactive art, or the best hiking spots in the North, let's connect.
