that cool kid
from the south
I’m Tia Dye, a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, and designer born and raised in South Carolina.
My creative work is deeply inspired by many elements of Southern life—centered around themes of lifestyle, surrealism, spirituality, and femininity. I explore these concepts through character design, book and fashion illustration, and graphic design, using visual storytelling as a tool to connect, reflect, and reimagine. My creative exploration and experimentation is both personal and imaginative.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the College of Charleston (Class of 2019) and a Master of Fine Arts in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta (Class of 2024). With a background that blends fine art and digital design, I create work that is both conceptually rich and visually engaging—bringing stories to life across print and digital platforms.
Let’s work together!
