ELISABETH   SORA   YEJI   SCHÄFFTER   SORA   HONG  


Sora is a visual artist and creative director specializing in film, 2D animation and mixed media. In 2020 she pursued the study Moving Image at the AKI ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands and graduated with Cum Laude in July 2024. There , she perfected her visual eye and creative concepting for visual projects.  

Working as a freelancer since 2020, Sora gained a lot of experience in the handling of clients for creative projects such as music videos for musicians and explainer videos for Youtube channels, striving to create a product that matches the clients vision.

In 2023 she attended the Korea National University of the Arts (K-Arts) in Seoul as an exchange student, where she directed her first short film with a bigger  production team than her usual one-person-team constellation.  She used those skills to further work as a leading force for other artistic projects.
