Arianna Unabia Aquino is a Filipina-American designer and printmaker from the Midwest. Raised in Chicago, she remembers falling in love with drawing in kindergarten and has never looked back. She graduated from The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2024.
She is currently invested in personal storytelling and documentation through her comic and zine work.
When Arianna is not creating, she enjoys collecting CDs, spending time with her loved ones, and pretending to be a sociologist while watching reality TV.
