Hi, I’m Grant Parker, a young visual storyteller focusing on sequential arts, editorial illustration, and dynamic artwork for print and digital media. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sequential Arts with a Visual Communication minor at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) online, and I’m passionate about comics, character design, and crafting assets for publications and branding. I love collaborating with writers, editors, and designers to bring stories to life and to explore new creative processes. I’ve built hands-on experience through the Local Newspaper Editorial Board, freelance commissions, and leadership roles in art clubs. I’m proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite and Clip Studio Paint, enjoy developing digital assets for assignments and promotions, and am always eager to contribute energy, adaptability, and storytelling to new projects. I currently live in Somerville, NJ, and I’m fluent in English with basic Japanese.
