Hi, I’m Daevon Perdue, a Hayward-based illustrator and digital artist. I blend traditional drawing with digital tools to create vibrant artwork for character design, branding, and web projects. I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring ideas to life and deliver work that’s visually engaging and practical. I’ve recently graduated with a BA in Studio Practice Art at San Jose State University (Aug 2021–May 2026), and I’ve built experience across customer service and design roles, including freelance design work for Teeny Town, LLC and a steady run as a barista at local cafes. I’m excited to continue growing my craft and contributing to creative projects.
