Viv Galinari’s career has taken many turns. The self-taught coder started out in her native Brazil as a business student. After graduating, she moved to Europe where her CV racked up job titles like au pair and newspaper vendor.
A seven-year stint at D&AD’s London office kicked off her creative career in earnest, and she supplemented this with a masters course in innovation. Another degree under her belt, she realised she needed a grounding in coding if she really wanted to innovate, so she moved herself to South East Asia – where she knew rent would be cheaper – to teach herself.
