Hi! I’m Belinda Kou!
(rhymes with “oh”)
I’m a Taiwanese American commercial lettering artist, illustrator, and educator. Formerly based in Chicago, I moved back to my hometown in metro Detroit in 2023. I’m a foodie at heart and make playful, colorful art to delight others. I also help creatives level up their digital art skills.
Six years ago, I was a tired mama of 2 girls (now ages 9 and 6), looking for a creative outlet outside my agency job. I got into digital lettering and grew it into a full-time profession. 🥰
Some of my favorite projects have included creating learning experiences for Adobe and Apple, lettering foodie greeting cards for Trader Joe’s, and leading digital art workshops.
As a former middle school science teacher, I never dreamed I would do this kind of work today! Overcoming hurdles to redefine my career, I enjoy taking lessons learned and breaking them down into simple steps to teach others how to do what I do.
I’m currently working on an illustrative lettering course (grab this free cheat sheet here) and trying to figure out how to get my noodle-loving girls to eat more vegetables. 🍜🥦
Are you a brand or agency looking for lettering, partnerships, art licensing, or education services? I’d love to hear from you! Please email me at hello@belindaskou.com
