Ria is a multi-disciplinary artist and film student whose journey spans Atlanta, Brooklyn, and her sleepy hometown in South Carolina. The best place to find her? At a cozy local coffee shop, nestled in the corner closest to the window, scribbling down ideas. She draws inspiration from the ordinary and the profound, weaving them together

As a cancer survivor, Ria's perspective on life is shaped by themes of mortality, illness, and the pursuit of existence. Rather than shying away from these heavy topics, she embraces them, seeking to normalize experiences and offer solace to those navigating similar challenges.

With a background in film and television production from institutions like Pratt Institute and Savannah College of Art and Design, Ria has honed her craft and expanded her creative horizons. Whether she's behind the camera, immersed in writing or exploring new forms of artistic expression, Ria approaches each project with curiosity, passion, and a commitment to authenticity.

Beyond her creative pursuits, she finds joy in spending time with loved ones, being in nature, meditating, experimenting in the kitchen, staying active, and seeking new experiences.
