About
NIA
NYC, NY, USA
Inspired by her daily runs through the streets of NYC, Nia believes that functional activewear shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort or affordability. Her designs aim to support movement, privacy, and confidence—without compromise.
Nia is a lifelong runner and active lifestyle advocate. Her experience with overpriced or uncomfortable leggings led her to take matters into her own hands—designing pieces that feel good, fit well, and empower every woman to move freely.
Nia began running as a daily ritual—a form of freedom in a busy city. But she quickly discovered the lack of affordable, comfortable leggings that supported movement without sacrificing privacy or style. Rather than settle, she designed her own. Her commitment to function-first performance wear now fuels the design behind VLIZ’s SculptFit collection, empowering others to move confidently, no matter the pace.
