I’m Rayyan Merrill; an illustrator currently based in the rainy town of Portland, Oregon. I create both with digital and traditional media; experimenting with color and texture whenever I can. When I’m not working, you can find me roaming the nature of the Pacific Northwest, my nose stuck in a fantasy novel, or hanging out with my cat Circe. 

I studied at Pacific Northwest College of Art where I earned my BFA in Illustration. I have worked with clients like Macmillan and Wacom and my work has been recognized in the dPICTUS Unpublished Picturebook Showcase of 2023 and in the Society of Illustrators 2022 Student Showcase.
