      Hello! This isn't my first post, but I thought I should make an official introduction.

      My name is Michael Angelo Go and I am from California, USA. I was born in the Philippines in the Mindanao region and my family's main language is Cebuano/Visaya. We moved to the states when I was only 1 years old.

      I am a freelance illustrator and hobbyist in digital art, writing, and toy customizing. I have a 5-year degree in architecture that I earned just this year. When I was young I wanted to be an animator and become a show-runner but when I graduated from high school and wanted to apply for college, my father would not let me pick animation as my major, so I thought architecture was a reasonable alternative, because I loved visiting Los Angeles and played Mirror's Edge as a kid.

      I chose to become a freelance illustrator when I first heard an ad on the radio for Upwork. I had never freelance before but I was really interested in putting my art skills to use. I started freelancing a year ago, and earned a job helping someone make a custom children's book for their friend's firstborn child. I don't get job offers on that site often and only seem to get successful snatches only once a year 😕

          Welcome, Michael! There are quite a few of us from California on these forums! I'm in San Diego myself. It's nice to see another one join the fold!
