Alyssa Alarcón Santo is a Los Angeles raised, Portland based Chicana illustrator and graphic designer.
Though she started her career as a portrait and advertising photographer, her love for typography and comic books led her to study illustration at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Since then, she has worked as a designer with brands on both coasts, scored some international comic publications, and grew into herself as an illustrator and book designer. She works as Creative Director of science fiction anthology publication, Planet Scumm.
She spends her time drinking black coffee and dreaming up new projects with her husband (while still not sleeping very much).
