About Me
Hi! I’m Tia, a sophomore CS/IMGD major from Stony Brook, New York. If you’ve ever heard of Stony Brook University, I live right near it. Ever since I was young, I’ve loved art. My mom will tell you I spent hours drawing circles on blank pieces of paper when I was 5. Now, I enjoy many different kinds of art. I’m not that into drawing and painting but it is something I want to get into eventually (when I find the time). As of right now, I mostly crochet and knit. Recently I’ve gotten into trying to make clothes for myself and right now I’m working on a cardigan! It’s one that Harry Styles wore at one of his concerts, and I really like how funky it is. I’ve also crocheted many small toys for myself and friends called amigurumi. I’m a big Star Wars fan, so after the Mandalorian came out I crocheted myself a baby yoda plush. Over the summer, I decided to start an Etsy shop to try and make a little bit of money and I sold hand made earrings. I love wearing unique earrings because I love to show what I like through them. Another activity I’m really into is building legos. I can spend a whole day working on one set, I find them so relaxing.
As a game design major, I’ve taken a few classes where I’m required to make video games. The few games I’ve made so far have been a combination of digital games and table top games. I’m really proud of how they’ve come out, and I do consider them to be an art medium since they involve making the UI look appealing and drawing unique board games.
I’m really excited to be taking this course. I think it’s outside of my comfort zone in terms of the art I like to do, and I would love to expand my horizons.

LEGO lovers, I see you as a man of culture as well! And I love your knitting.
I really like your feature image and how you expand your comfort zone in making arts, you deserve a Cute badge!
Hi Tia, I will give you the cute badge. The yoda plush is dope and the earrings are also super cute.
Quirky: Hi Tia! I love your art! I think it is so cool and interesting and such a fun form of expression.
The cardigan and baby yoda plush are very colorful, and the orange stegosaurus earrings are also very cool. Great work!

Hi Tia! I love all your pieces! Everything is so quirky and different. Your sweater is so unique.
Hi Tia, the first pieces of your work that struck me were the ghost earrings and the baby Yoda crochet! I think they’re cute! I’m excited to see how your game turns out as well!
Hi Tia! Your earrings and crochet are so cute! The prince Zuko earrings made me laugh, so I’m also giving you a funny badge. I love your legos! Question – is your etsy shop still active? I love fun dangly earrings 🙂
I closed my etsy shop for the school year but over the summer I’ll hopefully open it back up!!

Hi! I think the cute badge because of the baby yoda as well as all of the earrings. I really like the little ghosts!
Hey Tia!! Your work is amazing. I especially enjoy the earrings you designed. Your lego ships are also very impressive, it would take me forever to build something so intricate lol. I’ll give you the impressive and detailed badge.
Hello! Your art is impressive and very inventive! I love the different media’s you use. I am a big fan of funky earrings and love the little ghosties!
Familiar: I am a crochet and knitting lover as well, so i am very knowledgeable about the pieces you’ve done ( I myself am in the process of crocheting a cute tank top), and I am also a Star Wars lover! I think we would get along great!!
Hi Tia! Im going to give you the dark badge to reference all the dark space in some of your works. Also the Zuko earrings are amazing and that picture of hm gives me dark fire lord vibes and I love it.
