Description

Hello ٩(^ᴗ^)۶
I'm Aliyah and I am a 25 year old presently living in Seattle!

I'm a program manager for youth science and tech program in Washington as well as a multi-disciplinary artist who works primarily with paint, sculpture and making music on my synthesizer! Also, a major lover of cats including my own Mr. Teddy Freddy.

More recently I have been diving into outdoor recreation exploring the beauty of Duwamish and Coast Salish lands. Activities like fishing, hiking, swimming, and bird watching keep me grounded as each season welcomes the next!

I also love consuming art from independent graphic novels to art-house cinema (my favorite director is Edward Yang and yes Yi Yi did change me).

I come from a mixed background (Chicanx + Malayali), and grew up for part of my life on a homestead amongst elk, deer, bears and cougars.

I love to travel in order to experience a new place in its fullness rather than in a sporadic sampling.
