Design that's focused on
having a personality.
From bright color choices, to fashion portraits with attitude...
you're supposed to have fun while looking at my work.
I'm Hope Schmeiser and I am a creative of all kinds born and living in Northeast Ohio. I studied Visual Communication Design at Kent State University before receiving my Bachelors of Fine Arts in May of 2020. Through out my learning in school, I've learned how much I appreciate things that make people feel. My personal style is one that is vibrant, that emanates joy and overall feelings of happiness. My work is usually geared for children and youthful brands as I place high focus into color palettes and heavy detail into line work, keeping it simple always bores me!
I first and foremost call myself a creator before I call myself a designer. I believe that when visually communicating, you need to see whats being shown in all forms. I've spent as much time on design as I've spent learning and developing my skills in photography, illustration, video, and social media marketing. I am always continuing to learn and adapt to new technologies and forms of creativity. The learning never stops after graduation!
