Vivienne Maree Medrano (A.K.A. Vivziepop/Vivzmind/Viv) is the creator, director, lead animator, and producer of the upcoming Hazbin Hotel pilot.

Early life
Vivienne was born and raised in Maryland. She studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and graduated in 2014. During her education in 2012, she started a webcomic called Zoophobia, a story about a human who started working in Safe Haven, a place where animals, demons, and other fanatical species lived in. The comic series gained a large cult following.

In October 2014 as she graduated from SVA, she uploaded on her Youtube account a fan-animated music video, where a Zoophobia character named JayJay sang Die Young, by Kesha. The video currently has over 40 million views and a 96% approval rating on YouTube. She mentioned it "boosted her channel up" and helped her gain an audience early in her career.

Career
In July 2016, she moved to California. Before she started developing Hazbin Hotel, she worked as an animator in the internet series "Too Loud!" created by Nico Colaleo on DreamworksTV.
