Hi, I’m Claire Mizelle, an illustrator and artist. I refined my skills at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Arts with a minor in Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University. Illustration and storytelling through images were my greatest passions, although I enjoyed exploring all kinds of drawing across traditional and digital media. I’m a proactive, fast learner who thrives in collaborative environments. I have hands-on experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, plus 3D tools and game design basics. I’m passionate about creating visuals that tell stories and connect with people, and I’m excited to contribute to the Children's Book Project.
