About Me

Hi! I'm Alperen Ayan,

an illustrator, visdev artist, and art enjoyer.I have a long love for storytelling through art, having grown up on anime and manga and matured studying old and contemporary masterworks. I specialize in marketing illustration and environment visual development.I am fascinated by stories. I devoured fantasy novels as a kid, and I'm currently a fourth-year undergraduate student studying world literature. I am also a librarian and social media manager at our sci-fi and fantasy library, Darkstar. I want to help us connect and see all the beautiful, emotionally colorful parts of life through art.I'm open to work opportunities starting in the summer! You can reach me at [email protected]!
