Hello there ✽ नमस्ते ✽ Γεια σας

My name is Hope Sudarshan Glastris (she/her). I’m a Punjabi-Greek American graphic designer, illustrator, and visual artist.

I create visual identities and design assets for small businesses, non-profits, and solo entrepreneurs. I prioritize value alignment, imagination, and bucking trends. I love quirky design, but I also believe that unfussy solutions work best for most folks. I work with food and beverage/hospitality businesses, arts and culture non-profits, and solo entrepreneurs in both creative and wellness fields.

My illustration work is primarily digital, but heavily influenced by my background as a fine artist. It leans surreal and decorative. I love botanical motifs, psychedelic color, line, texture, and dream-like imagery. I am drawing, permanently.

I received my BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (drawing, painting, and mixed-media), and my post-bac in graphic design at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Currently, I work as the graphic designer at the South Asian American Digital Archive, and as a community art and yoga educator. I’m often cooking, hiking, playing pool or D&D with my friends, singing to my cats, and complaining about overhead lighting.
