Hello all! My name is Diane Bennett, a.k.a Ayamechan, the creator of Ayame Studios! For as long as I can remember, I always had a pencil in my hand and my face hovering over pages of paper. I loved making short stories which I turned into comics. Growing up, I knew I wanted to be an artist but didn’t know what kind. It wasn’t until fall of 2005 when I went to my 6th grade book fair and found a manga for the first time. The art style and story intrigued me so much that I completely delved into the world of anime and manga! During high school was when I decided to become more serious about my passion for drawing and storytelling.
Turning my hobby into a career is one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but I know it will be worth while!
When I’m not working on my stories or making art, I like to spend my free time on YouTube, ice skating, doing puzzles, and occasionally playing Pump It Up.
