Arianna Unabia Aquino is a Filipino-American designer and printmaker from the midwest. Raised in Chicago, she remembers falling in love with drawing in kindergarten and never looked back. She graduated from The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with a BFA in Graphic Design in May 2024.
She is interested in creating memorable experiences through design and is especially drawn to packaging and branding projects, especially in the events and entertainment industry. In her personal work, she aims to explore more narrative-based projects, including self-publishing comics and zines in print and online.
When Arianna is not designing, she enjoys collecting cds, spending time with her loved ones, and pretending to be a sociologist while watching reality TV.
