Deb was a joy to work with on our “Totally MAD” project at Mattel. She created amazing artwork for the product, including both screen art and cartoon animations, and we wound up winning numerous awards. I would not hesitate to hire Deborah again, and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants splendid artwork and a designer and artist who is personable and skilled at working with a team.

Partner, AMP Strategy
I’ve worked with Deborah on multiple projects, and during each one, she took time to understand the culture of our workplace and strategic vision— before any work took place. She asked thoughtful questions to understand the scope of each project while keeping to our original timeline. I adore working with Deborah and am so thrilled with her creativity, and the heart she puts in all she does!

Deborah designed a logo for a start up company that I used to have…the logo was one of the best parts of the project (and the only thing that lives on!) thanks to her creative vision and keen design eye. highly recommend!
Lisa Alumkai
Founder of Healthyup
I have worked with Deborah in the creation of logos, branding systems, and marketing collateral for two different small businesses. In all cases, I have LOVED the finished product. Deb is uniquely talented in graphic design and consumer packaging development while also being responsive and reasonably priced.

President at Elf Systems
Deborah is extremely creative while working with variety of client pressures. She created early flash concepts for a project we had with Microsoft, and were extremely nimble and able to turn around work in very tight timeframes. Deborah also worked with us with a startup client to help them conceptualize their complete site look and feel

On LinkedIn there are 7 boxes in the attributes list – I was limited to check on three, but would have checked the other four for Personable, Expert, Good Value and On Time. (I highly recommend her.)

Deb created several great concepts for cover art on my CD. They were all so good, it was tough to choose. She worked effectively with the ideas I gave her and she also came up with inspired alternatives. I liked working with her and I was pleased with the way she took care of the entire packaging design project. I would definitely hire her again.
My art is on display this month with an artists reception 11/10/19 from 4-6pm. Much of my work, in particular my most recent pieces are available for purchase as 20″ wide prints for $25 plus shipping and handling. If local, I can provide work framed (cost very reasonable).
The piece above is entitled “language of bees.” It and all my recent work are stories based on awareness and interaction within relationships.
My medium is magazine paper and acrylics. The pieces evolve over time with images and messages becoming hidden, but important. In my butterfly series as well as my sunflowers, the messages became clear sometimes months later. With my recent work, the message is in the present. Each piece a snapshot of my thinking in the moment, though everyone sees something of themselves in them.
I am creating posters from the butterfly series of 20 that I did from March 2018 – September 2018. They are $25 plus shipping and handling. Contact me for more info. Each panel is mounted on a 10″x10″ box and designed to be hung as a grouping. They chronicle a time in my life where to be truly happy, I needed to change. I changed. My wish is that other codependents like myself find the strength to take that first step into recovery. Reach out. Read. Reflect. Share. What can be, will be. You just have to believe.
I recommend these two books: The Language of Letting Go – By Melody Beattie & The Secret– by Rhonda Byrne
I created this butterfly illustration, done in torn magazine paper with acrylic and glue on July 4, 2018. This poster is first in a series of motivational posters exploring the concept of change, love, life and happiness.
I have been working as “Hopping Media” since 1998 when I began designing and building websites. It’s the right time to go back to just being Deborah Hopping.
