Hello, we are Nine Studio!
About Nine Studio
All children are full of creativity and imagination, and we are responsible for helping them reach their fullest potential.
We are an art studio who believes learning should be self-motivated and guided by the learner’s needs within their own interests. Nine Studio offers multi-themed after school programs and art camps throughout the year for children to explore their endless interests and playful creativities. The variety of unique activities we offer gives children the best opportunity to find their own interest and the things that motivate them to learn.
We create creativity with your curious children!

Managing Director/ Curriculum Designer/ Photography Teacher
“The best thing about art is that art naturally lands on each one of us no matter how much we love or are good at. The best thing about children is that they are born to be artistic and creative. We connect these dots with children’s own motivation!”
Amelie has a BA in Photography from San Francisco Art Institute and an MA in Arts Administration from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This art education led to working in a commercial art gallery and museum, as well as with local and international artists as an independent curator. She hopes Nine Studio provides a nurturing environment for all children to find their own voice by being creative and having fun.

Adobe Teacher
“Art is universal. It can be done by anyone, no matter what race, ethnicity, age, or gender. It brings together a community where people are free to be vulnerable and express themselves. Art is a safe environment where it is okay for children to make a mess and experiment with different mediums to help turn their imagination into reality.”
Avica pursued B.F.A. in Art Education from Academy of Art University. She thrives on creating a relaxing environment where kids can feel free to be themselves and express themselves through different mediums of art.

UI/ UX Designer/ Art Teacher
"Art and technology, in their essence, are about creating connections and experiences. As a UI/UX designer and art teacher, I believe in blending these worlds to inspire creativity and innovation in every student. My philosophy is rooted in the idea that art, whether on a canvas or a digital platform, is a universal language that speaks to our innate desire to express and connect."
With a Fine Art degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, her journey has been a fusion of artistic exploration and digital design. She manages the end-to-end design of our website, ensuring that every interaction is as intuitive and engaging as the art we create and teach.
