Medrano went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City and graduated in August 2014.[4] She began working on the webcomic ZooPhobia in 2012, before cancelling it in 2016.[5] She cancelled it so that she could work on a new project called Hazbin Hotel. In 2019, the pilot for Hazbin Hotel was released. The pilot for Helluva Boss was also released in 2019, because she had been secretly working on it.[6] In 2020, the first episode of the first season of Helluva Boss came out. A second season came out in 2022, and a third season is being worked on. The first season of Hazbin Hotel came out in 2024, and the second season aired in October and November 2025. The show has been approved for two additional seasons.
