About me
My name is Lydia Hoopingarner! I was born and raised in Evanston, IL, and now live in San Francisco, CA.
I am a multi-disciplinary designer who loves to explore cities, play Pokémon, engage in my community, cook and bake, and watch the occasional reality TV show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my career, I have worked in traditional advertising, experiential marketing, digital advertising, and product design. My career experimentation has led me to believe that being a great designer means being adaptable and inquisitive — to never stop learning.
