About

Hi there! I’m Merry Harpin, a multidisciplinary visual artist who loves turning rough sketches into whimsical, story-driven visuals for books, posters, and digital content. I also pursue chemistry and computation, blending science and art to explore new ways of visual storytelling.

Currently studying at the University of New Orleans, I combine a solid foundation in chemistry with hands-on experience in digital illustration, motion graphics, and concept design. I enjoy collaborating on projects that require creativity, curiosity, and attention to detail.
