    My designs are made to inspire and inform individuals about mental health. I only make art about the truths that I have realized and applied to my life. I have been designing for 5 years, I started design on my phone for fun. I now create with purpose to help people, I do so by exaggerating my concepts with surreality. I also make cover art, logos, flyers, apparel designs, etc. Which I love doing because I get to capture other people’s vision while having full creative control. And what better way to help someone with their brand than to give them a powerful design. I was blessed to have the name “Nia” meaning purpose, and my purpose is to help, inform, and share love in every way I can. Right now it is through design.

Especially now, it is important for photographers to realize that their pictures are visual diaries and have a more profound effect on people than we realize. As this is my third year shooting professionally, I'm dedicated to celebrating positive images across the Midsouth."
