My name is Christy Ni, and I’m a first generation Asian American illustrator, letterer, and designer that is based in Philadelphia. I have loved drawing since Kindergarten. In fact, my first “side hustle” was tracing and trading my doodles to other kids for food.

Now all grown up, I decided to pursue a BFA in Illustration. After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art, I accepted a position at Hallmark Cards, Inc. I’m currently a Senior Artist in the Hallmark Visual Studios, where my work influences a variety of product like cards, plush, children’s books, ornaments, and gift supplies. Much of my artwork can be found through Hallmark retail partners like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target. Outside of my full-time job, I enjoy freelancing, exploring the world, and hunting for snacks.

Recent clients include Hallmark, Walmart, Penguin Random House, and Callisto Media/Sourcebooks.
