My name is Sophie Tight, and I am an illustrator based in Truckee, California. My current work celebrates adventuring outdoors and the goofy, joyful language that comes with those experiences.

I'm inspired by my community, the Tahoe landscape, and especially the rad women and girls who get out there and crush it, on the gnarly days and the ordinary Tuesdays too. Outdoor sports can feel intimidating and exclusive. I want my art to break through those experiences with wonky text, a colorful palette, and cartoon-like doodles.

I studied visual arts at Denison University (Granville, OH) and grew up in San Rafael, California. I find inspiration in the activities I love, the coffee that makes these adventures possible, and the people I explore with.

My work is currently in association with Empowder Festival. Reach out below to inquire about hiring me for freelance work.
