hii i’m nabi, but some also call me nvbi.
i was born in 1999 (i’m a taurus) in new york, usa and i am a writer, researcher, and consultant focusing on pr, communications, brand, and content strategy. true to my military brat upbringing, i’m rarely ever in one place. at the moment, i’m based between new york city and amsterdam.
i work in the creative industry, primarily in the fields of fashion and design, where i’m passionate about investigating and crafting unique narratives for emerging and established designers, artists, and brands. with my work in pr, communications, and brand strategy, I have worked with creatives in the americas, europe, and asia on several projects in partnership with a number of independent consultants and agencies.
alongside working as a consultant, i am a writer covering fashion and design. my work is rooted in research and is influenced by my background in fashion academia, the humanities, and social sciences. i’m particularly interested in exploring the intersections of design, identity, and contemporary culture. when i'm not using my writing skills to help brands ideate and produce their own editorial content, you can find me contributing for publications such as leibal or coeval, or conducting my own research around design and contemporary culture.
in 2024, I graduated with a master of arts in critical fashion practices from artez university of the arts in the netherlands, where my research was centered on fashion, postmodernism, and digital media. i also hold a bachelor of science from nyc's fashion institute of technology in international fashion business management with specializations in product development and brand management as well as a double minor in international politics and english.
outside of feeding the machine that is late-stage capitalism, you’ll probably find me fighting writer’s block by doomscrolling, shitposting on main, and yearning for popeye’s chicken sandwhiches.
i am currently open for writing comissions!
