About Hops & Bean .co!

Hi there! I’m Alexus — but you can call me Lex!

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but in 2022, I took the leap and started creating pet portraits full time — and I haven’t looked back since. I’m a proud November Scorpio, a lover of the outdoors, photography, and unwinding with some good old-fashioned coloring.

I live in a cozy little town in Nebraska with my fiancé (Ryan) and our small (but mighty) pet family: Hops, our sweet pup and self-appointed CEO, Bean the cat (our co-CEO and supervisor of naps), and Toast — our newest addition who may not hold an official title, but keeps morale high with his antics.

Hops & Bean aren’t just part of the team — they are the brand. They're my daily inspiration, and this little business is named in their honor. Every pawtrait I create is made with love, care, and the hope that it brings joy to you, just like it brings me joy to make them.

Thanks for being here, and for supporting a pet-loving dream!
