Satine Phoenix

Satine Phoenix was born in the Philippines in a small town called Zambales, in Olongopo province. Her mother is Filipina and her father Is an American soldier, of Sicilian descent.

After graduating high school, she left for San Francisco to pursue her interests in art and culture. Attending the Academy of Art College, she trained in illustration, 3D/2D stop-motion animation and sculpture. This knowledge alone did not satisfy her hunger to learn, however, and she soon found work as a programmer working for a law research firm.

One day while working in her cubicle, she realized that everyone else's work space was stark and paper-filled, yet her own was overflowing with plant life, art and even an aquarium. Suddenly the realization hit: she was only going to be young for a short while and she should live life to the fullest while she could.
