About the artist

I’m Hailey Mago, an illustrator based in New York, NY. I am an Illustration student at Pratt Institute, set to graduate in May 2026. I have a particular interest in character design, character art, and worldbuilding. I aspire to work as a character designer for a video game series. I grew up playing video games from a very young age. I spent my early years watching my mom play video games until I was old enough to pick up the controller myself. As an artist, video games have been the biggest source of inspiration when shaping my creativity. Through this passion, I found a love for creating worlds of my own with vast characters. I love being able to tell stories through my illustration.
