I’m Sky Marjamaa, a Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) BFA Illustration student with a passion for concept art, storytelling, and bringing imaginative worlds to life. I work across character, prop, and environment design, and I love iterating with a team until the visuals feel clear, cohesive, and exciting. I’ve contributed to student game projects in multidisciplinary teams—developing story and style, painting over level design models, and sketching short action animations to support mechanics. I also create complete illustration sets for children’s book projects, including page-by-page visuals and full book dummies, and I’ve expanded my public art experience through mural and face-paint work for community events.
