About Me
It’s nice to meet you! My name is Vera Hoffman, and I’m a sophomore at Northwestern University studying Asian Languages and Cultures, Data Science, and Business Institutions! I’m a self-taught designer passionate about developing visuals and marketing strategies that use both creative and data-driven approaches to bridge cultural gaps and transcend boundaries.
During my free time, you can find me singing with my A Cappella group - The Northwestern Treblemakers, cooking in my dorm, hunched over my latest still life painting, or discovering the next best restaurant in Chicago.
To see more about my other hobbies, check out my YouTube channel, where I make videos about my time living in Japan and now in the US. Thanks for coming this far, and I hope we can get in contact soon!
