Hi, I’m Mayley!
I’m an illustrator with an interest in visual development and character design. My approach to worldbuilding aims to reflect the human experience in all of its heartwarming, confusing, and full-circle moments. Growing up as a queer, Chinese adoptee is a major influence on my work. I want to be part of creating complex stories on screen—opportunities for more people to see themselves represented with diverse, complex experiences.
While my illustrations are mostly digital, I love taking my sketchbook with me on a solo date when the weather is nice!
Outside of art, I love weightlifting, playing guitar, and collecting package designs from around the world. You can find me on the beach from sunrise to sunset, or you can find me online @mmeeples or reach out to mayleymorena@gmail.com
