Hello!
I’m Lydia, and I’m an artist and graphic designer based in Chicago! I am always on the lookout for creative collaborations, art opportunities, and new songs to add to my Spotify playlists.
I love almost all areas of art and design and have a passion for illustration and storytelling. I graduated from Ball State University with a BFA in Visual Communication in 2023, and have worked with a variety of clients including WNDR Museum, Switchyard Brewing Company, and Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. My work often spans several forms of design, ranging from packaging, branding, motion design, UI/UX design, logo design, and web and app design, to more traditional practices of illustration, photography, printmaking, 3D modeling, and painting murals.
I am originally from northeast Indiana, and when I’m not making things, you can find me logging movies on Letterboxd, drinking cherry tea, spending time with friends, or going on long walks in the city.
