Hi, I'm Yna (pronounced ee-na)!

My brain’s trained to keep up with five different time zones. I’ve jumped from country to country, state to state—always running 100 miles per hour. (And yet somehow, I’ve managed to blank on what to say about myself here.) It’s fine. I’m an art director. A good one, I hope.

But beyond the work, here’s a little bit about me:

  1. If I were an animal, people say I’d be a bird. I hope it’s one of those colorful ones from Rio.

  2. I’ve taken four accidental falls this year alone. Graceful? No. Resilient? Absolutely.

  3. At my core, I’m a big lover girl with too much passion—and I bring that same energy into everything I create.

You might have questions about me.
