“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”
― Earl Nightingale
Hello, I'm Hailo!
I'm a North Dakota-based, small-town girl with a big imagination. Growing up, I loved creating stories and daydreaming in my free time, but my love for telling stories didn't start until I sat down one day and finally decided to start writing them down. Once I started I couldn't stop! Writing my stories ignited my creativity, and I became determined to show everyone exactly what these characters and their worlds looked like, and the only way I could do that was to draw them myself. And so my adventure as a self-taught artist began!
I've got a flair for fantasy and everything make-believe! Magical creatures, gritty space adventures, underwater kingdoms, things with wings, and everything in-between is an absolute joy to work with. My imagination runs wild with out-there concepts and whimsical stories. Writing them is amazing, but getting to create and see them is what makes what I do so fun.
Years of practice and a degree later, I've only sharpened my design and artistic abilities. I'm still creating stories and drawing my worlds, but the best part of what I do is getting to do it for others!
