Hi, I’m Iris Running Thunder, an illustrator and surface designer creating clean, bold, and playful artwork inspired by the flora, fauna, and small joys of Midwest life. I pull inspiration from journaling, my surroundings, and the laughter that fills my days to create art that feels lighthearted and sweet. My goal is to spark cuteness, fun, and joy—inviting people to find a little comfort and delight in the everyday.
