Alyssa Alarcón Santo is a Los Angeles raised, Portland based 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 and graphic design 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 comic publications, and developed a love for book design.

She spends her time drinking black coffee and dreaming up new projects with her husband (while still not sleeping very much).
