Vivienne Medrano (October 28, 1992,[1] Frederick, Maryland) known online as VivziePop, is a Salvadoran-American animator and illustrator[2] known for creating the adult animated shows Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.[3] She also made the webcomic ZooPhobia.
Medrano went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City and graduated in August 2014.[4] She began working on the webcomic ZooPhobia in 2012, before cancelling it in 2016.[5] She cancelled it so that she could work on a new project called Hazbin Hotel. In 2019, the pilot for Hazbin Hotel was released. The pilot for Helluva Boss was also released in 2019, because she had been secretly working on it.[6] In 2020, the first episode of the first season of Helluva Boss came out. A second season came out in 2022, and a third season is being worked on. The first season of Hazbin Hotel came out in 2024, and the second season will come out in 2025.

Join Creator Vivienne Medrano (aka Vivziepop) for an intimate conversation about creating her Youtube hit series, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.
From Vivienne Medrano, the talented artist behind the drawings and animations on the YouTube channel, Vivziepop, Hazbin Hotel portrays all of the quirky, ambitious, and dark humor that Vivienne has become synonymous with.
Independent animator Vivziepop has lit up YouTube with her pilots Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, which have earned some warranted criticismfor their immature, edgy humor but are at least clear labors of love from an animation standpoint.
