Biography
Hello, I'm Vina! I currently working in production managment for animation while writing and illustrating stories on the side! When I am not drawing, I'm usually at the movie theaters, baking, hiking, song covers, or pretending to be an overgrown child while browsing the picture book section at bookstores. One day, I hope to produce and tell my own stories though film to inspire others!
