ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Minyi Tan and I’m an illustrator based in New York City. I recently earned my BFA in Communication Design from Pratt Institute, where I focused on narrative illustration and picture book storytelling.

I really enjoy useing both traditional and digital media. I often use soft colors, decorative lines, and emotional composition to create storytelling illustration. I’m especially drawn to adapting classic literature and folktales through a poetic and visual lens.

When I’m not drawing, I love reading, sewing, and cooking comfort food. I’m currently seeking opportunities in children’s publishing and visual storytelling.

Thanks for visiting my portfolio!

1. The Nightingale and the Rose
This picture book is a lyrical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic tale, reimagined through my own visual language. It tells the story of a nightingale who sacrifices herself to help a lovelorn boy, only for her gift to be overlooked.
Using soft watercolor textures, delicate digital linework, and poetic pacing, I explore themes of love, longing, and the contrast between human indifference and the emotional depth of nature. This project was developed as my senior thesis at Pratt Institute.
