I'm B. Donelan, a Designer and Illustrator from the Greater Boston area. My passion lies in transforming ideas into visually captivating creations. With each design and illustration project, I bring a collaborative and detail-oriented approach, ensuring the best outcome. I have been honing my creative craft from a young age (after recognizing that I could not become the next "Crocodile Hunter")—beginning with studying Multimedia Communications in a Vocational School before expanding my toolkit at Massart's Illustration Program.
​
When I'm not immersed in work, I dedicate my free time to being a Game Master at a local brewery, blending my love for storytelling with the community spirit of the venue. This passion for weaving narratives fuels my broader goal to craft stories in everyday life, whether through game development or cultivating unique experiences. I also explore other creative outlets like printmaking, bookmaking, and developing stories for my comic series, Bare Bones. This series delves into the everyday challenges of navigating a fresh diagnosis of a chronic condition, all with a critical eye and a touch of blunt humor.
