Description
Hi, I'm Rio! I'm a 25 year old freelance illustrator and graphic designer. Though American by passport, I was raised in Malaysia and have been traveling the world since I was little. In 2018 I solo backpacked through Latin America, work(away)ing from Mexico down to Chile. It was a truly eye-opening adventure and one of the best things I'll do in this life. Now, after a couple of years at home (and under lockdown), I'm ready to hit the road again.

I'm adventurous, independent, and outgoing. I dive headfirst into my projects and take the initiative to ensure that it's the best work I can produce. I also get unreasonably excited about everyday tasks so long as I have great people to work with! I'm super easy to laugh and enjoy getting to know new people (preferably over a cold beer in the evenings haha). I miss bonding with fellow workawayers and hosts, and look forward to diving into new projects!

More details about your skills
Administrative skills (Google Docs, Excel, Powerpoint, filing and organization, data processing, etc.).

Graphic Design (Procreate, Photoshop, InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, branding and illustration work, etc.). I'm a very well rounded artist who's good at working with both traditional and digital medium. I have experience in thoroughly analyzing a client's vision and coming up with ideas from a variety of perspectives to achieve it. When it comes to delivering artwork I always ensure that the outcome is the best product I can offer. I also have experience painting large murals and signage and truly enjoy big art projects.

Some of my illustration work can be found on my Instagram, @riomuniandy

I have good people skills (having worked various reception desks) and am comfortable with children. I'm adaptable, outgoing, and eager to learn.

What else ...
I always travel with a sketchbook and love talking to folks about creative pursuits! I also love reading and agonizing over fictional characters (and could also use more book recs!) Not much of a cook but a decent bread-maker (though not sourdough, the uncharted territory). I enjoy hiking, working out, petting stray cats, yoga, arranging flowers (and then drawing them), and making people laugh :)

As a housemate I'm organized and clean, an early riser, and respectful of others' spaces. I may however ask to peruse your bookshelves!

I spent about 2 weeks at Melinda's place and it was a such a great opportunity! As a host Melinda is caring, incredibly generous, great at communicating her expectations, and just generally a really nice person to be around :)
Work included weeding, mulching, watering the plants, feeding the chooks, laying tiles, and general house chores. I… read more

Though I've spent the past year working at 6 different Workaways around the world, Sandy and Clive's spot at St. Leonards has been without a doubt my favorite :)
During the 3 weeks that I spent here the family embraced me with open arms, which I really appreciated since I wasn't from a big family myself. They're incredibly generous with what they… read more

We loved having Rio stay with our family. Although Rio is an only child, she blended into our active and often noisy family without a blink of an eye. Rio was very adaptable in the types of tasks she undertook in her time with us. As we were getting acquainted Rio set to updating photos on our short term rentals profile and created an online… read more

Left by host (Help me out in my inner city ...) for Workawayer (Rionna )

It was a pleasure to host Rio. She is a young woman with a gentle heart and she is a willing worker. She fitted into my home easily. She was clean and tidy and respected the space and the other people in my home. Rio created a couple of logos for me. I loved working with her because she was willing to collaborate with me and also with my venture… read more

I spent a week working in Jacqueline's home and as my first workaway in Australia, it was a wonderful experience :) Besides some light cleaning on the first day, I spent my time doing graphic design work for her two upcoming businesses. From the get-go she was excellent at communicating her expectations for my work as well as my stay in her home.… read more
