Alicia Qian 钱崇琪 (she/they) is a Chinese-American director, sound designer/recordist, and illustrator based in NYC. They’re fascinated by the stories and histories of those who came before, often prodding deeper to uncover tales that ripple to today. Alicia loves drawing strangers, pulling espresso shots at her local cafe, and distributing fresh asian vegetables. She fears the deep vast ocean and tape worms.
