Hello there! My name is Nona Ventura and I am currently working as a Background Designer/Layout Artist for TV Animation. I hope to grow even further as a professional artist in this industry :)

Biography

Being a woman of colour in animation , I want to make a difference in this world with my art. I know that backgrounds/ visdev is a small portion of a whole crew of people wanting to tell a story, but I think that if we diversify members in studios, it will really make a difference especially those in future generations. I would love to know more about production and find my voice as an artist. I feel like I can say so much as a girl who was born in the Philippines. And I think that is my main goal to learn from a mentor. I am open to learning about all aspects of animation and how people truly own their careers.
