NADIA PHOENIX
Nadia is a Creative Director based in the Silicon Valley of California. When it comes to creating ad concepts, Nadia tends to be a perfectionist who creates both intellectually and visually appealing concepts. She has an OCDness that makes her create and place design elements in a well-balanced and aligned manner, almost all of the time. One of her greatest passions is intermingling both copywriting and creative design. She blames it on the fact that she’s of mixed origin. Being of mixed origin comes with other perks, such as being multilingual, having a bit of an unrecognizable accent that can magically appear in the middle of her sentences, having an overflow of experiences and perspectives, as well as having a deep understanding of different clashing cultures — this usually shows in her work and her tendencies to have a crazy personality every once in a while.
Nadia’s devotion to technology led her to get her Bachelor’s in Engineering back in 2003. However, throughout her career path, she has always gravitated towards more creative and communicative positions that varied from web development and design to instructing computer courses. Nadia believes that in order to continuously have unique and interesting ideas and concepts, the learning process has to be ongoing. For this reason, she decided to pursue her MFA in Advertising, with an Art Direction emphasis.
Nadia presently holds the roles of founder and creative director at Cre8ize and Cre8izePublishing. Furthermore, she serves as a resident artist at Gallery House. Additionally, Nadia pursues her passion for teaching design and computer courses at a local college.
