It's #InternationalArtistDay and we'd like to take today to highlight the one who creates all our beautiful designs - meet Clelia! 🥰 She's Team NO 🍍🍕 & loves 📚. Her creative mind is behind the art you see on our blogs, social, and the Open Home newsletter! 😍

A simple drawing of Clelia Rella, designed by herself, on a white background. Her caricature is aligned to the middle right on a Home Assistant blue circle shape - the drawing is a smiling woman with dark long hair and glasses. Around the circle shape on the left are a few items, from top to bottom: a pizza slice with a hand says "Team NO pineapple on pizza", a cat reading a book says "Book ❤️ Lover", a pencil over paper says "Creative mind". Below her caricature is another item, keyboard keys with Ps, Ai, ld, and Ae on them (the initials of the products she uses to design assets). Text aligned to the bottom left reads:
(in black text)
Meet the team
(in light blue text)
Clelia
(in dark text)
Marketing Designer
/end text

In the top right and left of the image are the Home Assistant and Open Home Foundation logos and text, respectively.
