Hi, I’m Jiyoon Song (also known as Ally). I’m an aspiring illustrator currently pursuing a BFA in Illustration at RISD, with a passion for visual storytelling, character design, and editorial illustration. I enjoy exploring color, texture, and composition to bring ideas to life on the page. Beyond school, I’ve balanced creative work with hands-on roles in retail and youth programs. I’m bilingual in English and Korean and have some French familiarity, which helps me collaborate across teams. I stay organized and calm under pressure, and I’m excited to grow my craft through diverse projects and collaborations.
