Hello! I'm Olivia van Bochove, currently immersed in the world of Interactive Media with minors in Game Design & Marketing at The University of Miami.

I'm passionate about the convergence of technology and creativity by blending storytelling and mechanics, through real world user experiences. I've learned hands-on what engages a user like myself, to an innovative narrative, and what captivates my curiosity. Beyond academics, I have a passion for choreography, music, surfing, fashion, film, traveling and discovering new cultures.
