About Astra

Hi, I’m Astra — the artist and writer behind many of the designs, poems, and blog posts you’ll find here at Happy Are The People.
Ever since I was little, I’ve loved expressing my heart through words and colors. Whether it’s writing poetry, drawing on my iPad, or dreaming up new ideas for our t-shirts, I believe God gave me creativity not just for fun — but for purpose.
Each poem I share and every design I create is inspired by real moments, real emotions, and my walk with Jesus. I hope they speak life, peace, and joy into your day — the same way God has used creativity to help heal and grow me.
I believe in beauty that tells a story.
In quiet strength.
In finding your voice, even when it trembles.
And in honoring God through the gifts He gives.
This brand isn’t just something my mom and I are building — it’s something we’re living. And I’m so excited to share this journey with you.
Hold these verses dear to your heart like I do.

With love,
Astra
