I started off as somewhat of nerdy student, studying mathematics and science, along with some programming and IT. Since a young age, I was constantly exposed to a retail and interactive atmosphere, having grown up in a family business. With over ten years of that exposure, it shaped the basis of my curiosity in how the human mind works and perceives the environment around them.  Whilst I began in the field of Computer Science, my interests began to bubble towards user interactivity and digital media. So I took what technical experience I gained from that course and pushed it into the direction of 3d animation (and gradually 2d animation), bundled that up with my curiosity about the human mind, and it sparked a core interest for exploring the deeper connection between life and motion.  Tien has joined the JOLT Creatives for THE NIS.
