Ria is a Toronto-based Graphic Designer and Art Director with a passion for storytelling and visual design. While she thrives in today’s digital landscape, Ria has a deep love for print and editorial design and enjoys merging traditional methods with modern techniques. Currently, she is an adjunct professor at Mohawk College, teaching Visual Web Design 1 as part of the Graphic Design program.
Alongside her teaching role, Ria runs her freelance design business, Naagin Design House, where she collaborates with clients across diverse industries, bringing their creative visions to life. With a comprehensive skill set that includes Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, MailChimp, Klaviyo, Wordpress, and HTML/CSS, she continually pushes her design boundaries and is now exploring the exciting world of UX design.
Outside of design, Ria is a nature enthusiast, cat mom of two, and an avid swimmer. Her fascination with astrophotography and natural phenomena, particularly the Northern Lights and the Milky Way, feeds her creative curiosity. She also collects unique stationery, from notebooks to fountain pens, always in search of the next addition to her collection.
