Gymnastics taught me that failure isn’t the end—it’s part of the process. Whether I stumbled during a routine or reworked a campaign idea, I’ve learned to pivot, adapt, and try again until I’m proud of what I created. This mindset fuels my creativity today.

I’m a Los Angeles-based creative passionate about art direction and creative strategy. As a senior in LMU’s M-School program, I’ve spent the last four years turning ideas into work that feels fun, unexpected, and real.

From leading art direction for “Kick Rocks” (a social campaign to get students outside) to reimagining Christy Dawn for Gen Z with fearless branding, I love combining visual creativity with strategic thinking.

Beyond marketing, I’m an artist and entrepreneur. Running my art business, Portraits by Nia, taught me how to balance creativity and strategy—and gave me an excuse to spend way too much time at flea markets. Creativity isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am.
