Nakita Simpson

Art Director

Nakita Simpson: Designer, Daughter, Sister, Karaoke Enthusiast, Empath, Friend. She's a Jamaican bred Canadian born Southern raised creative who loves meeting new people and exploring the world around her through art, food, and dance. When she's not fawning over gallery openings or brainstorming her webcomic, she's working in advertising connecting creatives of color in the industry and working on opportunities to support younger talent through mentorship.

Though her past life held promising jobs in hospitality and insurance, she thankfully was guided to her current career as an Art Director in Portland with community assistance, a little courage, and a f*ck ton of talent. Sometimes she wonders if she should've stuck to the clinical PhD track in psychology, but knows her best therapy advice is served neat over stiff whiskey and burgers.
