I’m Rayyan Merrill; an illustrator & designer currently based in the rainy town of Portland, Oregon. I love creating with both with digital and traditional medias; experimenting with color and texture whenever I can. In my free time, you can find me knitting at the park, playing the cello, or searching for the best tiramisu in town!

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 I have worked with clients like Macmillan and Wacom and my illustration work has been recognized in the dPICTUS Unpublished Picturebook Showcase of 2023 and in the Society of Illustrators 2022 Student Showcase.
