Johari is an Art Director living and thrifting in North Carolina, dreaming of farmland like every other grand-millennial...


She studied graphic arts at Illinois State University and has over a decade's experience in advertising. Her client roster includes American Family Insurance, Coca-Cola, PayPal and Samsung. Her expertise in communication design heavily influences the use of language in her illustrative work, where words become the subject matter.

Her murals aim to make the tough stuff in life a little less scary. With a youthful, energetic style—inspired by a childhood filled with Lisa Frank and Nickelodeon—she approaches intense or emotional themes with curiosity and playfulness.

When she's not working or mothering, she’s likely dreaming and scheming—sometimes all four at once.
