Yayitsvica
My name is Vica Lew, and I’m a full-time illustrator, maker, and musician based in San Francisco, California.
I started my art journey in 2018 with the goal of spreading smiles and silliness through my cute joyful illustrations.
Since then, I have opened my very own online shop called Yay! It’s Vica, where I sell cute stationery, art prints, handmade goods, and of course, everyone’s favorite: stickers!
My background is in marketing and communications, where I spent 7 years working with different clients from various industries, and understanding the value of harnessing ideas and manifesting them into something that can delight, inspire, and (for you aspiring shop owners) even turn a profit.
Now that I’m fully pursuing an illustration career, I’m fortunate enough to have my days filled with plenty of creativity and experimentation, and I’m thrilled to share what I have learned so far with you.
