About Gina Roy-Opalec, Graphic Designer Behind This Issue's Cover


As a little girl, Gina Roy-Opalec’s prized collectible was a Calligraphy pen set. She was amazed at the beautiful letters she could create by simply manipulating the pens at different angles. Shortly after, Gina developed and is known for, by family and friends, her beautiful and unique penmanship style. This was the beginning of her artistic creativity. She then started taking art classes in junior high school, high school and in college, which lead her to enroll at Platt College, to specialize her craft, in graphic design.

Gina is a San Diego based Graphic Designer. She is a Packaging Designer, in Product Development for Infant Toy, with Infantino. Prior to Infantino, Gina was a Graphic Designer, Product Design and Managing Designer, Product Design, heading the Entertainment and Attractions Division for Fotoball USA and K2 Licensed Products (K2LP) for thirteen years. There, her clients included Disney, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, Zoos - nationwide, Nickelodeon, Marvel, Warner Brothers, DC Comics, MLB, NFL and the NBA. At K2LP, Gina assisted the Creative Director and managed a creative team for products such as collectible pins and lanyards, as well as sport collectibles and toys.

Gina is very passionate about her career as a graphic designer. She loves the freedom to be artistic and create products that people will enjoy for years to come.

Gina has played an integral part in helping her sister, Zenaida Roy-Almario, with her dream of becoming an author and starting her company, BRAGN™ - Be Real And Great Now. Gina designed the book’s cover and interior layout, company logo and icon, as well as her press kit and other business marketing collateral. Zenaida says, “I really love my BRAGN™ peacock icon and logo! Gina’s ‘awesome left-handed talent’ brings life and existence to my visions, better than I dare to imagine them! I am blessed for having her, to create the pictures to my words and even more so, as my sister.”
