Born in Long Island NY, all Doreen Mulryan ever wanted to do was draw and ice skate!

For school, she attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA as a fine arts major, then moved on to New York's School of Visual Arts, where she received her degree in illustration and cartooning.

After graduation, she worked at Marvel Comics as a production assistant where she met her lovely husband. After a few years working alongside super heroes, she went on to do product design at Russ Berrie. Now, she works as a freelance illustrator and designer from the comfort of her home (in fuzzy slippers)... with her daughter and puppy, Baxter Blue Cheese, by her side!
