Multidisciplinary Artist and Creative Thinker

I'm Lo Harris, a Chicago-born, Alabama-raised multidisciplinary artist, creative director, and public speaker who creates empowering artwork, campaigns, and messaging that provoke the confidence, authenticity, humanity within each of us.

I express myself through illustration, vlogs, the written word, and my mentorship of young creatives. And I often find myself involved in projects that center social impact, education and celebrations of people and culture.

I have partnered with a diverse range organizations such as Hallmark, Old Navy, Nick Jr., The Innocence Project, Tombow, The United Nations Commission on Human Rights, the NAACP, and The Center for AntiRacist Research to create artistic experiences and live events that educate, inspire and uplift their audiences.

Merchandise featuring my artwork has been sold both nationally and internationally in Target, Kohl's, and Shein. Currently I have three lovely tees in Five Below. Check them out! When I'm not training up my green thumb in the garden, I'm working on my next children's book with Make Me a World, an imprint of Random House.

Love Letters

Working with Lo has been an absolute pleasure! Her art is so colorful and cheerful. I’ve worked with Lo on multiple projects and each time she goes above and beyond, is open to feedback and collaboration, and ultimately wants her clients to be happy. I highly recommend working with Lo!

Lo's team did an amazing job of taking our vision and bringing it to life. The images are striking and vibrant, the colors are bold, and the overall impact of the piece is so much stronger given the caliber of their work. I would work with Lo Harris and the team any day! In addition to the high quality of their work, we also loved working with them. They were well-organized and great communicators, which we really appreciated given all of the moving pieces related to our project. Lo's team lives into their values by how they think about and approach their work and they'd be an asset to any creative project.

It was a no-brainer for the @design team to select Lo to be the expert guest on the live show Honest Conversations for the episode: “Knowing your Worth.” We chose Lo because she has a commendable wealth of experience and an uplifting personality. She unravels challenges that people of color face in creative spaces and provides strategic tips on how to overcome them.

Lo has within her an eclectic, creative and driven energy that makes for the secret ingredient to every job well done. She listens acutely and translates nuances into beautiful reality. It’s always a good day at work when I see a meeting invite with Lo scheduled for the day.

Working with Lo on Milani's Anti Gravity launch was spectacular in every way. She's a star in front of the camera, and a powerful artist with her work speaking her truth in every color. She's collaborative, imaginative and her personality is infectious, it was a joy working with Lo in every aspect.
