Recently graduated from CCSF, Nadia Fathi, San Francisco native artist, specializes in diverse illustration and visual development. Using these art forms, they explore how we perceive the world and ourselves.

Their versatile storytelling captures ominous, enchanting dreamscapes of their internal queer experience. These surreal works are filled with dark allure and challenge perception.

They are currently directing their own animated short: a proof of concept about the longing to find what's been lost. Additionally, they are a character designer and creative consultant at Sportsball Games. They were selected to present their work at the 2025 San Francisco Zine Festival; their work will be presented in the Spring 2026 SFSU's Associated Students Gallery.
