Kiara is an emerging set and costume designer based in Naarm. She has recently completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) at the Victorian College of the Arts.

Kiara's VCA credits include Associate Costume Designer for ‘Tales from the Vienna Woods’ and Costume Designer for 'Dance Nation' in which she worked alongside director Emily Tomlins.

Due to her intercultural upbringing in Indonesia, Kiara is interested in works that discuss culture, language and home. Kiara is the proud recipient of the Agnes Robertson Scholarship and hopes to use the awarded funds to experiment with dramaturgical, design based storytelling and ultimately stage her passion project that discusses intergenerational trauma and culture shock.
