About

Hi, I’m Ziggy Kneile, a passionate visual artist and performer currently studying Visual Art at Columbia University. I love blending creativity with practical skills, whether it’s managing complex productions, designing artwork, or helping others shine on stage. I’m also dedicated to community service, having worked with individuals with developmental disabilities and supported students through tutoring.

Beyond academics and work, I enjoy being involved in various performing arts roles, from acting in Shakespeare productions to managing lighting and stage setups. With a keen interest in neuroscience, visual design, and filmmaking, I’m always eager to learn new skills and collaborate on creative projects.
