Hi, I'm Nakia, based in Washington, DC

I research why people struggle with the products they use, translate that into brand and product direction, then design the experience that carries it through. My background spans B2B, B2C, nonprofit, and enterprise platforms, so I've learned to understand real users under real constraints, not one polished demographic. My work moves fluidly across research, brand strategy, and UX/UI design, whichever the problem actually needs. Explore the work below, or reach out if you'd like to talk.
