A Designer, Creator, and Storyteller.
I'm Nakia!
I craft bold, distinctive brand identities that are built around your vision.
​
For years, I’ve helped new businesses and creative entrepreneurs build authentic, eye-catching visuals that not only reflect their personality but also captivate their audience.
​
I specialize in branding, digital marketing, and graphic design — the kind that makes people stop, look, and say: “Nakia Made It.”
My Story
I’m a designer, creator, and storyteller from Oakland, CA, with a B.A. in Theatre and Performance Studies and over 5 years of branding and marketing experience. I blend artistic vision with strategic thinking to make brands unforgettable — a skill I started honing back when I was rebranding Instagram accounts, designing flyers, and creating logos for fun. That “fun” quickly turned into a career leading full-scale brand identities, digital marketing campaigns, and social media strategies for small businesses, creative entrepreneurs, and organizations.
​
I’m obsessed with the entertainment industry — theater, TV, music, dance — and I light up when my creative passions overlap, like in my current role running social media for theater productions. I chase opportunities that challenge and excite me because that energy fuels my best work, and at my core, my purpose is simple: to inspire, teach, and entertain.
​
That same curiosity and love for storytelling shapes everything I do, whether I’m directing a stage production, making TikToks about music at @k14.mp4, binge-watching Gilmore Girls with the same intensity I bring to Avatar: The Last Airbender, or falling down the K-pop rabbit hole. Even my gaming habits (level 10,900 on ToonBlast ('cause I'm her)and my obsession with the Sims)) feed into my eye for detail and playful approach to design. At the end of the day, my work and my life are fueled by the same things: curiosity, creativity, and a genuine joy in exploring the things I love. That mix of passion and playfulness is what keeps my ideas fresh, my designs bold, and my perspective uniquely mine.
