Melisa Nguyen
Illustrator and Storyteller
About Me
An illustrator and aspiring storyteller located in Denver, Colorado. I received a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Biochemistry in hopes of going to Veterinary School and becoming a Veterinarian. Instead, my passion for art and animation overtook me and I decided to follow a new career path as an artist.
My main influence in art has been inspired by anime, manga, cartoons, comics and graphic novels. I love storytelling and hope to create compelling stories with my art. I am always striving to improve my craft and experiment with different supplies, mediums, and styles.
Not only am I interested in the world of storytelling in the arts, I am also interested in Voice Overs and have taken extensive training to get myself started.
I enjoy learning new things and am always happy to share my passion with others.
I hope we can all keep on #DreamLinh and strive to great lengths with our passion! Hope you can join me on my journey!
