I’m Rayyan Merrill; I love to illustrate fun, weird stories filled with humor and whimsy. I create both digitally and traditionally, mixing media whenever I can. I’m a visual problem solver, and love to find creative solutions for projects. I live in the rainy town of Portland, Oregon and 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 in Portland, Oregon where I earned by BFA in Illustration. My work has been recognized in the dPICTUS Unpublished Picturebook Showcase of 2022 and in the Society of Illustrators 2022 Student Showcase. 

Past Clients Include:

Macmillan, Wacom, Gallery Go Go, and the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Care Foundation.
