Hello, I’m Marlena Myles and I’m a Native American (Spirit Lake Dakota) graphic designer and fine artist in St. Paul, MN. I specialize in vector illustrations and portrait art; I also design flyers, logos and websites for organizations and companies of all shapes and sizes.

2017: I was selected to be a First Peoples Fund fellow, and with their resources I am lending my talents and voice to this cause of keeping our stories relevant. I am creating Dakota educational materials with assistance from the Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye, illustrating our stories using modern technology. My hope is that the modern tools I use behind my art will be a channel to the youth, to give them the inspiration to create a future that connects with our past, to create a future that is alive with our cultural values and languages.
