Olivia “Via” Miller

Hey there! I’m Olivia Miller, a Computer Animation student at Ringling College of Art and Design.

Envision this: a cozy living room floor is cluttered with art supplies and coloring books. I, no older than five, am sketching in the blank spaces of the pages. And as I finish a doodle, I look up, completely absorbed in the animated characters on the TV. In that moment, little me thought “someone must have made this movie”, and with that consideration, I realized, I want to be that someone. More than a decade and a half later, I am doing everything in my power to make that little girl’s dream come true.

Likes and Interests – aside from drawing and animating!

  • My favorite animals are owls and quails!
  • I love to lake-sail 4-20 sailboats.
  • Knitting and crocheting are my passion.
  • If I wasn’t an animator, I’d love to be an art teacher.
  • I’m learning French in my freetime (thanks, Duolingo!).
