About Me

My name is Jarin Helliwell (he/him) and I'm a multidisciplinary digital artist from Thunder Bay, Ontario. I learned many of my skills in Confederation College's Interactive Media Development program from 2023 to 2025. I'm also a writer, performer, and Lord of Sealand. No, really.

I'm the type of person who gets bored of seeing things that are too similar to stuff I've seen before, so I do everything with a desire to create something unique. I have a wide range of interests and inspirations, from B-movies and Japanese manga to children's cartoons and New Weird literature, with a strong desire to blend disparate ideas together when I create.

In addition to creating digital art and digital spaces, I love live theatre and am a regular in the Thunder Bay local theatre scene. I have also written numerous scripts for the Confederation College Performing Arts Club while serving as a regular member, as club vice-president in the 2023-2024 season, and as club president from 2024 to 2026.
