Clarise Tan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Animation degree awarded by the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. ​Despite being a graduate of animation, she found joy working in the book industry. She realized it was where she truly belonged. The place where she found her passion. She didn't do it just to be different. It just so happened that what she wanted was different from most people in her industry.

She is now a cover artist of some of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors. She takes up photography as her hobby and she's also a graphic designer who enjoys doing just about anything that involves designing.
