Hi, I’m Ava Dean—a creator who blends writing, performance, and design. I’ve written and performed on stage, designed visuals, and even run a small piercing business, learning by doing and helping others along the way.

Right now I’m studying Games and Animation at the University of Cincinnati, after honing my craft at The Chicago High School for the Arts. I love collaborating with teams and bringing ideas to life—from poetry to stage props to layout and design.
