Jina is a multi-genre writer based in Chicago. Her first published novel Vaguely Human Figures came out in 2025. She is always working on more books, articles, and stories.
I am intrigued by the study of violence, social performance, and transgression. What does it mean to be a person, and how does one reckon with the constraints and liberties? How do subconscious ideologies operate behind conscious decisions? In my novels I often establish characters who are disillusioned, frustrated, or desperate to create their own path. I aim to discover what it means to live outside of the expected methods of conduct. My fiction also explores creative passion and artistry, incorporating music, writing, and art motifs. On the side, I write semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical vignettes that I pass off as short stories and creative non-fiction. My music journalism usually covers electronic and hyperpop genres. As of now, my goal is to keep writing and pursue a graduate degree to one day become a professor.
In 2026, I created the Art House anthology, a biannual compilation of prose and poetry by writers in my online community. I am also a freelance graphic designer. I have work experience in marketing, writing, design, and communications and am open to collaborate.
