JHOCA
An inspired fan and her passion for fiction
Jhoanne's creative career is a journey of visual storytelling — stories that seek to share, learn, and grow, as she believes stories are how people communicate. Her childhood as a Filipino immigrant in the U.S. taught her the power of language, visual and verbal, through the adventures of cartoons, movies, comics, and games, to connect with those around her.
She created the alias "Jhoca" by combining the first syllables of her name (Jhoanne Castro), and with this alias, she engages in fiction. Her love for fiction manifests itself into passion for the arts, giving her the opportunity to further develop her skills in illustration, video editing, writing, and storytelling. This passion motivates her to reimagine characters in new scenarios and worlds, where her creativity knows no bounds. In the future, Jhoanne hopes to create her own worlds where others can feel attached and invested, to feel inspired and learn from her stories.
