About me!

Art by @Kerkeza
Hello everyone! I'm Vinn (or Kie!), and I'm the webmaster behind Ivyswell Tavern. I'm a software engeneering student, self-proclaimed vampire, and self-taught artist and webmaster.
I've always had a deep love for the web, so making my own personal site was a long time coming. On top of that, I'm neurodivergent and I tend to have very intense interests when it comes to media. So I'm excited to finally have a place to pour all that passion into (I'll probably make A LOT of shrines). I have been really into videogames since I was a kid. They have always been a source of comfort and escapism for me, and I would love to work on a game one day :]..
I'm also emo!! I love DIYs, thrifting clothes, collecting CDs from my favorite bands and putting on ugly makeup. I think it's part of the reason why I grew to appreciate 'unpolished' media and independent productions so much. There is a lot of value in things that come from the heart, even if the final product is rough and inperfect. So I do my best to do what I love regardless of how good I am at it. Unfortunately being a perfectionist is something that came included in my neurodivergence starter pack, so it can be challening at times. But it's absoultely worth it in the end.
