Vina believes that “good” design is completely subjective. To her, what makes it good (or GREAT) is if it answers the brief. What is the brief? No, not tighty-whities. Although clean underwear is always recommended.

The BRIEF is the blueprint that details the PROBLEM. It informs the WHO & WHY. The DESIGN is hopefully the SOLUTION that informs the WHAT & HOW. Design is a visual storytelling tool used to communicate TO SOMEONE [individual(s) or group(s)] a MESSAGE [from a feeling to a call-to-action].

From painting to branded digital ads, Vina has tried to be mindful of solving that simple problem in a fun, unique way. She would love to problem-solve with you too (especially if it involves animals & kids!).

While not designing, Vina can be found in Westport, CT with her husband, 3 kids, dog Ajax, (and likely a foster guinea pig) volunteering with Good Dog Foundation and the CT Humane Society.
