Born in Pasay City, Gini migrated to Guam with her family when she was three. But with her father’s advice, she returned to the Philippines to finish her high school and college education.
In 1987, Gini earned a degree in fine arts major in advertising at the University of Santo Tomas. She returned to Guam and pursued a career in advertising before shifting to animation.
As a successful animator for Pixar, her impressive portfolio includes Woody and Jesse the Cowgirl in Toy Story 2, Sulley and Mike in Monsters, Inc., and Dory from Finding Nemo.
In a 2003 interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Gini shared her experience working on Dory, the forgetful blue fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres:
“It really appeals to me, the idea of this fish with short-term memory loss. Ellen DeGeneres was amazing. She has such a rich array of emotions in her voice.”
She was also one of the animators who worked on Pixar’s The Incredibles, the Oscar-winning animated movie in 2005.
