Hi! I’m Victoria, an Art Director/Designer from Canada currently working at TBWA\Chiat\Day. I formerly studied at Miami Ad School, with experience at top agencies including Ogilvy, R/GA and Publicis Sapient in New York City. On the side, I have a condom company called Slipp, offering condoms made with optimal ingredients for intimate health. The company’s mission is to make buying, carrying, and using condoms more comfortable for everyone. I also create illustrations for fun.
