Join us as Nia talks about giving birth to a kidney stone, embracing creative momentum when it happens, growing up in Jakarta with her brother and making their own entertainment, fabricating to keep her hands busy, using set design and objects to tell stories, being a part of a government-funded crafting community, being inspired by murder documentaries and fashionable grandmas, planning set design around what can fit in an uber, and dealing with work visas for stop motion animation.
