ABOUT ME
Nia Sayer
With a joint-honours degree in English and French, my writing is driven by a fascination with the ways culture shapes what we create, how we see, and ultimately, how we live.
I am interested in the intersections between design, fashion, travel and culture, because none exist in isolation. And so, I explore each discipline in its individuality, while also considering the ways in which they overlap, influence and enrich one another.
Through my work, I seek to uncover the connections between creativity and the stories behind it: the people, places, histories and ideas that shape what we understand as art today.
Let’s work together!
