About – Nadia Kara

Nadia, she/her, 35, Pisces

I currently work as a writer, podcaster, moderator and host. My specialty: exploring vulnerability without exploiting it.

You might know me from my Een van de goeie series, my articles for VICE, or my collaborations with Beursschouwburg, Arenberg, Horst festival, BrusselAVenir, Tsugi and Clark (RIP), among others.

My marketing years took me to places like EURO RSCG (Havas), Touch, Trendwolves, Walkie Talkie, where I produced commercial work for a number of local and global lifestyle clients and fine tuned my strategic skills.

As a freelancer, I fill blank pages: writing, adapting, producing, designing, coming up with full-blown strategies if necessary.

Some main themes in my life and work include identity, sustainability, diversity, feminism and mental health.

I work in French, English and Dutch.

Undecided, terribly curious and always hungry for more: ever since I was a kid, I’ve cultivated an interest for all things I didn’t know. Venturing out of my comfort zone doesn’t scare me – I thrive on learning. I love a good challenge, even though it often means I’ll trip over my own two feet… anything but boredom.

Let’s get personal

I was born in Liege, so yes! French is my mother tongue, but I’m also fluent in Dutch and English. I currently live in Antwerp with my dog Biceps – who’s also my main inspiration behind my Famous Pets design project.

On a day off, you can typically find me cooking pizza (from scratch!), binge watching The Real Housewives or screenwriting, the latest hobby I found to channel my imagination.

Now you’ve met me, your turn! Let’s go have an oatmeal latte or videochat in our PJs.
