Berlyn Nguyen, Staff Artist

Sophomore illustrator Berlyn Nguyen may be a digital artist, but she’s also a digital native. Self-proclaimed to be chronically online, expect to find Berlyn drawing on IbisPaint, scrolling through TikTok, or filming another makeup brand collab on Instagram. Fashionable and creative with a sharp eye for design, Berlyn is your go-to if you need help styling an outfit, getting glammed up or doing your nails (she’ll even make custom ones for you!). From Clairo to Yves to her idol beabadoobee — who she discovered at the ripe age of 9 — Berlyn’s music taste is just as vibrant and colorful as her personality. As she navigates her first year on staff, Berlyn is ready to put this personality on full display, hoping to bond with her fellow journalists and create meaningful illustrations for the Gamut.
