She owns her own phantom power boom pole set with a Zoom H6 for sound recording. Nyah is proficient in Adobe Cloud (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and somewhat in After Effects), but has recently switched to using DaVinci Resolve and CapCut for simpler video marketing tasks.

Nyah is based in Oakland, California, and is eager to connect with more black & POC queer creatives in the area. Representation is crucial to them and it's what inspired her to start filming in the first place, so she hopes to build a community to further enhance her creativity and produce work that reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of the community.
