Hi, I’m Nia

  • I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Interactive Design and Minor in Information Technology (May 2024) from Kennesaw State University.

  • I value empathy, inclusiveness, and collaboration. I believe in continuing to educate yourself to make informed decisions and better understand the people (and technology) we interact with.

    • My organization and adaptability helps me thrive in ambiguous situations.

    • I love breaking complex issues into Fisher-Price solutions to better help others navigate and understand their needs.

    • I am unafraid to learn and ask questions to ensure the best results possible.

  • Leading with inclusivity and empathy in design, I am committed to understanding users' needs and creating intuitive experiences that enhance their lives.

I create precise, consistent, and thoughtful interfaces without sacrificing functionality. I believe that effective design is a collaborative process that applies both design and systems thinking.

My ultimate goal is to leverage research, visual design, and interactive strategies to tackle challenging aspects of life and enhance user experiences across diverse fields.
