Hi, I'm Nia! I'm a graphic designer, art director, surface pattern designer, and illustrator based in Chicago, Illinois.
✿ I work with clients to consult on design systems and processes and create memorable brand identities, eye-catching promotional materials, engaging social campaigns, and beautiful packaging. Clients include non-profits, arts and entertainment organizations, marketing agencies, leadership consultancies, and B2C retailers.

✿ I also design colorful and whimsical surface patterns and products. My patterns are available for licensing and for purchase as fabric and wallpaper on Spoonflower (https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/niaoadesign).
✿ I sell art prints, notebooks, apparel, stickers, drinkware, and other delightful goods and gifts featuring my original artwork in my Etsy shop (https://niaoadesign.etsy.com).
✿ My personal design aesthetic is cheerful and colorful with a retro vibe, inspired by Scandinavian textiles, midcentury fonts and signage, traditional folk art, vintage decor, and classic children’s book illustrations.
✿ If you're looking for a creative collaborator, are interested in licensing one of my surface pattern designs, or need colorful and unique gifts and home goods for yourself or to sell in your boutique, let's chat!
