Hi, I’m Taryn Cozzy, a professional illustrator and artist for the last 15 years. I've worked all over the board but my foundation is rooted in art and illustration. I earned a BFA in Illustration from the New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2013 and have worked professionally in storyboarding, character design, animation support, digital illustration, and visual content creation. My experience includes work in entertainment, publishing, the nonprofit sector, e-commerce, and live event support. I’m especially drawn to opportunities where thoughtful design can improve communication, strengthen branding, and create meaningful experiences for clients. I've crafted over 4 children's books in my past and I hope to do many more!
