Viviana Porcayo - About Me

Hi, I'm Viviana!

Call me Vivi

Born, raised and currently living in the Windy City known as Chicago Illinois, I am a graduate from the Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago with a BFA in Graphic Design. As children my parents came to the United States looking for something better. Financial and personal reasons stopped them from finishing their education but they still worked hard for a future they believed in, even through they couldn't see it. Their dedication inspired me and I found myself, a first generation Mexican-American, being the first in my family to go to college, and first to graduate. Their support has helped me through college and it will help me continue my life of firsts.

A majority of my design inspiration comes from various artists, however my main inspiration was, and continues to be, Disney. Listening to soundtracks to help me get through classes, watching the movies to help me get inspired and even my own art has been directly influenced by Disney and the work they create. In the Spring of 2016 I worked at Walt Disney World as part of the Disney College Program and it was one of the most exciting times of my life, right next to finishing school and getting my degree. After working in the parks and not only seeing how Disney runs as a company but being able to take part in that myself, I have taken that same approach with my own work. In it's own way, Disney has pushed me to create magical moments for my own clients, with my personal brand of pixie dust.
