Gin is a Los Angeles based illustrator who loves drawing character focused narrative moments and designing fun fantasy stationery in equal measure. They spent over a decade working in-house at Disney doing all things visual: graphic design, illustration, visdev, and art direction! They’re currently flying solo and open to freelance while working on their personal stationery small business. They’re fond of dogs, Dungeons & Dragons, and dying over and over in Soulsborne games.

They’d love to work with you on your next illustrative project!
