As a lifelong writer and artist, Nahdiah is always creating the next opportunity to translate her everyday experiences into artistic expressions as entertaining, varied, and attractive products and projects.

Her written and artistic expression has gone through many phases over the years resulting in a highly personal approach and perspective. Her approach and output are constantly evolving as she hones her personal style.
