Even though it is almost the end of the first semester, I am still want to properly introduce myself here. Well, there is no “secret” now that my name is Sofiia, so here I am. Now I am studying in the Capilano University IDEA program and I am enjoying the learning process to a great extend and also I am excited to go further in my studies and improve my skills and knowledge day by day.

I am an international student from Ukraine and for the past four years, I have lived in Canada. To be precise, I lived for over three years in Toronto, Ontario, and one year in Vancouver, British Columbia, and I like both experiences in these drastically different places.

As a creative person I like art in all its forms, and so I am passionate about music, that is why I have the experience studying in music school for piano major for over five years. Also, I will point out that adore taking photos and creating videos, the process of it gives me a wave of inspiration and joy.

Besides all the personal information above, I want to add that I am in love with animation and its process, especially the final results. Nevertheless, I am passionate about creating product design, UI/UX design, and web design. The illustration is in that list of my favorites too, so I hope that one day I will have a chance to work on some large project where I will put my major contribution by creating some kind of majestic drawings, etc. But, I am still on the path of learning and improving, so I am working hard to become a true professional one day, as for now, I am in Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication (or just a graphic design for an easier understanding) program where I am truly excited to learn all of the art pathways listed higher in the paragraph.

On the final note, I will state that the main inspiration in my life’s journey till now is my family because they give me inspiration, motivation, strength, and examples of true happiness and joy.
