A native New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, born and raised in the Lower East Side (Loisaida), David Arroyo has studied and worked in the fields of graphic design, art, and writing since 2009. He's also a proud cat parent, who loves to watch all kinds of anime, and voraciously read as many volumes of manga and graphic novels as he can get his hands on. He resides in NYC, with his loving partner and their very spoiled kitty. Meow!
