Hatt Cho is a Korean artist based in Los Angeles.

Deeply inspired by shonen manga, anime, and Western cartoons that captivated her teen era (no, she hadn’t drawn at all by the age of 14) she traded her history degree for a dream: to debut as an artist in a Japanese manga magazine. This bold move launched a nine-year career, where she shaped four comic book series as illustrator, writer, or sometimes both, working in Korea and Japan.

One day she thought it would be fun to try exploring other forms of storytelling. And after a few magical years, she landed a background designer role in SoCal animation industry.

She loves kimbap, bubble tea, new art supplies (it doesn’t mean she use them up), and her pup Tareh.

Hatt is currently designing backgrounds on Big City Greens at Disney TV Animation.
