Meet Vivian. Vivian is a programmer who spends a days creating solutions using code. Because she works in technology, she is often stereotyped. But these stereotypes simply aren't true. People think that Vivian is a nerd who spends all her time alone with no friends. They think she has no hobbies and isn't cool. What people don't know is that she uses a technology skills to follow her passion for art. Vivian has created a website with an online gallery for her artwork Onda Store to sell the pieces online.

If you are a young woman watching this, now is the time for you to get a head start. Now is the time for you to make what's next
