Brief Summary
Chiara Andriole—first name pronounced kee-AH-rə (because she's Italian!)—grew up in Orlando, FL. Thanks to a bold ambition to see snow and learn things, she has spent the last few years in St. Louis, MO where she recently graduated from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University with a major in Communication Design and a minor in Architecture. In her free time, she loves to draw, play with dogs, clean, spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet watching live streaming webcams of cute animals, practice yoga, and eat. She is interested in continuing to illustrate and design for print and digital media, and is always eager to take on editorial illustration assignments! She hopes to ultimately become an Art Director at an agency or for a publication.
