About Author
I’m Lauren Hom, a designer, letterer, and muralist with a knack for marketing. I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember, and I discovered lettering when I was studying advertising in college. I loved it, and it quickly became a passion project.
After I landed — and subsequently burnt out at — my dream job at an advertising firm, I knew that I had to figure something else out. It took a rock-bottom moment that included eating raw cheese ravioli on my kitchen floor at three in the morning for me to decide that I was going to make a living with my art – no matter what it took.
Since that day, I’ve created a wildly successful creative company creating lettering and murals for clients like Google, MailChimp, and Target while also teaching creatives like you how to get paid for their artistic passions.
