Lydia Ortiz is an illustrator, designer, and art director living in San Francisco. She was born in Tondo Manila, Philippines. Her childhood was filled with animals, Filipino folklore, stories of ghosts, and regular visits to the witch doctor. She likes to believe that at the age of 8, she saved her family from a fire that consumed their home. At age 18, she migrated to the United States with her family. In San Francisco, she worked full time while going to school. It took her 10 years to finish college. Oof. She graduated with honors from the California College of the Arts with a BA degree in Design. She tried living in New York for 5 years but it was too damn cold. She draws a lot. She works a lot.
She is currently a children’s book designer at Chronicle Books and she moonlights as an editorial illustrator during nights and weekends. She does work for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Instagram, Teen Vogue, California Academy of Sciences, WIRED, and more. She is happily married to a photographer and together they are raising two cats in San Francisco! She still believes in ghosts and other dimensions.
