Hi there :)

​

I'm Victoria, a graphic designer and illustrator from the rainy Pacific Northwest! Whether it's through illustration, design, or visual storytelling, I love expressing the whimsical and peaceful moments of beauty and joy that can be observed in nature and daily life.​ 

I got my B.A. in Art from the USC Roski School of Art and Design with emphases in design and ceramics. At my current position as Brand Designer at MochiThings, I have so much fun designing new stationery products and creating cute illustrations and merchandise to brighten any customer's day. 

When I'm not working on art, I love backpacking, thrifting, discovering new coffee shops, and taking care of my (many) plants. I also love decorating my studio and workspace areas to create a cute, relaxing, and comfy atmosphere that can inspire me to make more art. 

You may know me as "whimsicolor" or "tinytonbo" from social media or YouTube. I've been sharing art on the Internet since basically my childhood, designing free icons for other kids on Webkinz Insider when I was 12 and selling character designs on DeviantArt when I was in high school. It wasn't until 2017 that the Whimsicolor brand emerged. The summer after my freshman year at USC, I started an Instagram account to share my illustrations, and since then have been expanding to other social media like Threads and YouTube. I'm so grateful that people all over the world are inspired by my work and creative process, and hope that you are as well!
