Available to hire
Hi, I’m Maggie McDermott, a passionate 2D/3D artist with almost five years of experience across education, gaming, and entertainment. I love creating bright, colorful worlds and characters to share with others.
When I’m not working on a new piece, I enjoy horror movies, reading, and adventures in search of neat rocks and the perfect cup of coffee.
