You might know her better as Hom Sweet Hom, the small creative studio she runs that specializes in custom lettering, quirky creative content, and online courses on art and business for creatives. About the page she created, Hom says, “When Adobe asked me to design a letter-themed coloring book page, I was in the middle of looking for a snack (no surprise there). So I designed my piece to honor the one constant in any work-from-home creative's life: snacks. We're all out of the good snacks in my household, so I figured drawing them would be the next best thing.”
