"To connect with nature, appreciate life, and evoke positive energy through sustainable art and lifestyle."
Hi!
I’m an interdisciplinary artist and a jewelry designer living in Northern Virginia, originally from Bangladesh, mother of two beautiful children and a cute cat.
Nature’s rhythm, colors and energy inspire me to create. I love exploring and experimenting with different mediums, tools & techniques.
Recently I’ve been creating resin jewelries with natural found objects and with recycled plastics and fabric scraps. For my paintings I mostly use oil paint, acrylic ink, alcohol ink, and gold foils.
I pour my love into my creations and my goal with each piece is to bring positive energy into your life.

where family is everything and you never feel alone,
where I left a piece of my heart." - Nafia Syeed
Fabric Scraps
I bring fabric scraps from Bangladesh, the second largest textile manufacturer in the world. The fabrics that I use for our jewelries and art are mainly handloom Jamdani Muslin , a form of amazing ancient fabric called Muslin which don't exist in the world anymore and Katan Banarasi a traditional fabric that is worn by the brides of Bangladesh on their wedding day.
Natural Found Objects
A lot of my pieces are made with elements of nature like flowers, leaves, butterfly wings, shells, bird feathers, and stones. Carrying or having little pieces of nature makes one feel the blessings around us.
Recycled Plastic
I use plastics from recycled water bottles for my jewelries and art. These are individually hand sculpted and fused to create different organic shapes.
