MY STORY

Hiya! My name is Milan, a 25 year old painter, illustrator, and animator from Philadelphia, PA.

Growing up, I was very shy. I didn’t like speaking up nor talking much unless I was spoken to. But I always had a story in my heart. I was always drawing, ever since I can remember. At an early age, I found that illustrating allowed me to be able to communicate with others and share my ideas without having to actually speak.

Through experimenting, I learned that I could use different mediums to create stories with paints, my iPad, or just a regular pencil and paper.

My current exploration is in animation/storyboarding. It’s definitely a game of patience but my four year experience in motherhood has prepared me for the task (lol).

I seek any opportunity that I can to strengthen my gifts and to expand and grow my community of supporters.

I wanted to thank anyone who has supported me thus far because my story has yet to be written.
