About Vania

Hi! I'm an artist, illustrator, and designer based in Lancaster, PA. Being inspired by the natural world and the beauty of everyday moments, I specialize in designing materials to educate and inspire, usually incorporating illustrated elements. Not only do they make designs more engaging, this also gives me an excuse to basically doodle for a living!
