The Cold is Warmth Print

Althier Alianza is a multidisciplinary creative and photographer living and working in Adelaide, South Australia. Born in the Philippines and grew up in Makati, Metro Manila, she moved to Australia in 2022. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Management Accounting. As a student, she floundered like a lost soul in a program that she was not interested in. Her heart and interest have always been in the arts, as she grew up trying different art forms, such as illustrating, painting, photography, film, and music. With the determination to forge her own path as a creative, she pursued a career in arts and design after graduating in 2014. Since then, she has worked as an art director and graphic designer, with experience working with marketing and advertising agencies, educational institutions, startups, and non-profit organizations. Her artistic work and practice revolves around advertising, graphic design, photography, and contemporary art, taking inspiration from pop culture, music, life in the Philippines, her experiences, and her queer stories. Knowing that design and the arts can be used as a tool for communication, she hopes to create more meaningful work and tell more stories.
