Hi, I’m Chibia!
I’m a lettering artist and illustrator based in Portland, Oregon. My work is silly & playful, centering around self worth & prioritizing your mental health. Select clients I have worked with are Target, Kleenex, Hero Cosmetics, Self-Care is for Everyone, Adobe, American Greetings, and many more!
I’m also a musician! I’m a violinist and vocalist, and my track “Honey” was featured on Marvel’s “She Hulk” and OWN’s “Queen Sugar”. I regularly gig with my band in Portland
I’m a middle school orchestra teacher too! I love being a creator who gets to share and foster the magic of art with the other people daily.
