Hi, I’m Alyssa. 

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator based in Seattle, with roots in both Tokyo and Honolulu. Growing up between a fast-paced city and a quiet island taught me how to move between contrasts— structure and softness, detail and intuition. That duality continues to shape the work I make.

My work spans packaging, web, and editorial design, often with hand-drawn elements and symbolic touches rooted in years of illustrating. I'm especially drawn to the storytelling power of thoughtful and clever details that make people pause and look a little closer.

Most days, you'll find me working from my home office with my senior cat Rosie, who keeps me grounded (and on schedule) or out running some silly little errand.

You can contact me at manamiell.studio@gmail.com, whether for a project or just to say hello. I’d love to hear from you.
