Victoria Jenson born in 1960 in the city of San Fransico, located within the state of California in the United States of America.
Her childhood really was that of any normal girl, within a family that could be called the typical American dream. On Saturday mornings it was his delight to be able to watch cartoons from Hannah-barbera.
Already in adolescence, he began to draw assiduously, taking classes with private teachers and in some local workshops. She was really determined to make a career out of her pencil skills.
After graduating from high school, he enrolled in the Academy of Art College in the city of San Francisco, time for which she was hired by the studies of Hannah-barbera to paint the backgrounds of the animations.
Little by little she got to know how the world of cartoons unfolded and she was completely fascinated with them. Then in 1972, he moved to the city of Northridge to study Literature and Art.
Once he had settled in this new place, he got a job almost immediately within the most prestigious animation companies, such as Filmation, Marvel and until Walt disney company.
In this way he began to work on the most remembered cartoon series of the ’80s, such as “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe“, from 1983, or the pop star “Jem” from 1985.

Upon his return to the USA, Vicky was already much more experienced and was hired by Universal Cartoons to develop a number of animations of the most classic drawings.
Among them are “The Ren & Stimpy Show”, A really bizarre and very comical program, with a much more adult humor theme than what I had been doing up to now.
Thus he continued to carry out his work until nineteen ninety six was hired by Dreamworks to be the Production Designer from the animation sector. His first great success in this area was “The Road to El Dorado”, Released in the year 2000.
