About

Happy is a vintage inspired home and lifestyle ceramics line.

Heather Arndt is an artist, designer, and native Angelino. She works with ceramics, mixed media painting, reclaimed wood and succulents. Her line evolved from her home decor store boutique and art gallery space, "Happy”. She lives and works with her husband and daughter in Los Angeles.

After earning a Bachelors of Fine Art at San Diego State, Heather began designing footwear for companies such as DC, Hurley and Vans. In love with design and travel, she spent 15 years creating footwear and accessories for many of California’s skate and surf brands. In that time she also expanded her love of art making and earned her Master’s in Fine Art from Claremont Graduate University.

In 2008, she opened a Los Angeles based gallery and home decor boutique store. More importantly through the art gallery she built a community of artists and designers from the entire Southern California area, who she met through her role in organizing of the seminal group show “Supersonic”. After 3 years in retail and running a gallery, she decided to focus in on making and teaching art.

She is now painting, designing ceramic pieces for her line happy los angeles, creating and consulting with creative businesses to help them grow.
Heather travels for inspiration, writes for fun, and hikes the hills of Griffith Park to stay sane.
