Who is Hope Vandiver?

Product & Graphic Designer | Artist | Cat Mom

I’ve been learning & practicing Product & Graphic design since 2017. Here’s where I worked during that time:

Harris County - Lead and orchestrated all brand collateral and website design for Harris County, specifically in Precinct 3.

HomeStory Rewards - A tight-knit tech forward real estate company where I practiced product & visual design within multiple cross-functional design and development teams.

Freelance - Honed my multidisciplinary design skills through taking on multiple clients with different design needs. I strengthened my skills in logo, brand, and art direction design through this experience.

If you like my work and want to get in touch, or even if you just want to chit chat about the crazy Texas weather, shoot me an email or text! I’d love to hear from you!

  • I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember, and when I stepped foot into my Graphic Design Fundamentals class my sophomore year of high school, I fell in love with the design process. I poured my heart and soul into design and was accepted to the Communication Design program at Texas State University where I further honed in on my design practices.

    It was here where I fell in love again. I was already fascinated by the design process, and when I dipped my toes into UX/UI, I realized the potential I had to try and make a difference with my designs.

    Cue TRAVELDOC, my pride and joy, and the reason I decided to specialize in UX/UI design. As a type 1 diabetic since 2002, I’ve lived in the world where I didn’t completely fit the norm. Working in a talented design team to create the TRAVELDOC app opened my eyes that my designs can impact the consumers who use it.

    And that’s that. The rest is history. This was all a long winded way to say I was always meant to be a designer (or copywriter, I’m good at inspiring you yes?).
