“The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.” - Diane Arbus
"Like a lot of young people who wanted to be artists, comics were a gateway for me." Kerry James Marshall
I'm a Chicago-based visual artist, art therapist, and licensed professional counselor and self-proclaimed BLERD.
My clinical work and art practice often explore the intersections of art and mental health, primarily in BIPOC communities. Utilizing art to shift narratives around healing, mental health, and creating spaces where exploration and re-imagination are valued.
Creativity and design are a passion of mine, specifically illustration and abstraction. Art helps me create space for storytelling, connection, and building community.
I'm a self proclaimed BLERD! FFXII is one of my favorite games of all times and I prefer Star Trek (Next Generation and Deep Space Nine) over Star Wars.

Naimah completely brought to life the nature of the song and exceeded my expectations! I received so many compliments on her art!! I definitely would love to work with her again!
- Singer and Songwriter
Naimah was helpful in picking a color palate, was overall very responsive, timely, and very professional. Naimah also offered her time to meet our team and introduced herself and answered some questions over a video call which was very informative and made the project feel more like a collaboration than a transaction. She was very articulate and very open about her experiences and her vision for art therapy and art making.
