Our Story

Be A Heart began as a place to contemplate compassion, generosity and authenticity, which have carried over as its three main values as it grew into a company that specializes in hand lettering and illustration. 

We seek to bring beauty into the world because we believe that it is “beauty that will save the world.”

We love to collaborate with clients who put humanness at the center of their work. 

Be A Heart is located in Los Angeles, California.

Erica Tighe Campbell is the owner and designer of Be A Heart. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from DePaul University in Chicago, moved to Brazil to work for Heart’s Home for a year and a half, then lived and worked in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles. 

Erica’s Catholic faith and spiritual journey guides much of the work here at Be A Heart. Her devotion to Mary has influenced much of her recent work.

Erica now resides with her new husband, Paul, in South Pasadena.
