Hi, I'm Hope!
I'm an artist and future educator hoping to empower students with artmaking. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from California State University, Long Beach in 2025. In 2026, I will be completing my Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art.
I've always enjoyed making art; my favorite mediums are pencil, gouache, watercolor, and digital. Most of my professional work is done in Photoshop. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing (of course!), writing, trying new recipes, and spending time outside.
​
While most of my professional work is geared towards children's books and media, I am open to all kinds of commissions. Please contact me with your ideas. Let's make something cool together.
