About Lia

My name is Chiara Adele Papalia "Lia", I am a 26 years old designer and artist based in Italy.
I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in Communication Design from Politecnico di Milano School of Design with a thesis in Game Design. I use she/they pronouns.Professional experience includes working currently as a concept and character artist for Bad Bishop Games studio (Boston). I have experience working as an illustrator for clients such as This is Not A Love Song, Wyrmwood Gaming, and private publishers as a book cover artist.I am passionate about how games and design can be relevant for social change. I am wildly curious about history and fantasy, and I'm in love with storytelling, especially that side of fantasy that's often deemed darker or eerie. I also can read Ancient Greek and Latin, and will tell you random History Trivia if you ask (and also, probably, if you don't).
