Alyssa Menold
Alyssa Menold is an illustrator currently working out of Ann Arbor, MI. She was inspired to pursue illustration as a child, when she’d spend hours browsing books, not just for their content, but for their beautiful covers.

She received her bachelor’s in illustration from Kendall College of Art and Design, and her master’s from Hartford Art School. Check out her work at www.alyssamenold.com.
