Lydia Chiu (they/them) is a Taiwanese-American undergraduate illustrator and writer from Virginia pursuing a BFA in illustration and a BA in literary studies for fiction writing at The New School in NYC. They would say they enjoy telling character-driven stories about community, family, and the passage of time, but it’d be easier and more honest to say that everything they create is about grief. In between projects, you’ll probably find them ice skating, getting tattooed, or rewatching Arrested Development.
