Hi, I’m Peiran Dong, an illustrator and graphic designer based in New York City. I develop whimsical, narrative-driven artwork that blends traditional drawing with digital painting, drawing inspiration from my pets and everyday wildlife to create immersive worlds about connection, tenderness, and nostalgia. I recently earned my degree from Parsons School of Design, where I explored Illustration & Communication Design and refined my storytelling through vivid characters and playful environments. I love turning ideas into visual stories for brands, exhibitions, and communities—designing cohesive identities, social content, and art directions that feel warm and inviting. Whether I’m sketching by hand or coding in Illustrator, I aim to craft pieces that spark curiosity and empathy. I’m excited to collaborate on projects that celebrate imagination and human connection.…Hi, I’m Peiran Dong, an illustrator and graphic designer based in New York City.
