My Story
I grew up in Vietnam, a beautiful and rich in culture country, until the age of 15. I made the biggest decision by flying out to New Zealand by myself. I enjoy making art since I was a kid, the joy of watching cartoon and Western, Japanese shows made me want to become an artist. Just being able to create makes me happy and it always help with my personal problems as well as expressing my emotions. It might sound like I'm exaggerating but it is true that I believe I was born to make art :>
That's all you need to know about me, I'm just a small
Learning Journey:
I am a self taught mostly artist, since kindergarten my favourite class has always been the art class. Despite my love for art, I did well in other classes to TvT but unfortunately I'm not naturally smart, I had to be extra hard working for all classes. My weakness was literature class, BUT i love writing stories too, especially fan fiction OvO. When I was 15 when i came to New Zealand, I got to skip one year pf NCEA and apply for year 12 instead of year 11 due to my academic credits back in Vietnam and my English certifications. They told me I would fail if I choose painting class without learning it from year 9. However, I persisted and passed with a High Merit credit. After year 12 I was planning to study Psychology and studied a foundation course for it but after insist my family, I decided I will pursue my dream and study Art Design. Now I'm currently studying at AUT - Bachelors of Digital Design (Animation, VFX and Game Design). I'm majoring in Animation and VFX, studying Cinematic Arts as my minor. Outside uni classes, I am constantly making art and learning animation, 3D modeling in my own time ^^
