Aaniin! My name is Neebinnaukzhik Southall. Neebinnaukzhik means “Summer Evening” in the Ojibwe language. I am two-spirit and my preferred pronouns are they/them. I am a member of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and grew up in Miami, Florida, and Corvallis, Oregon. Since 2013 I have lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I run my small creative business Neebin Studios. I am a graphic designer, illustrator, artist, photographer, writer, editor, and speaker who works with museums, arts and cultural organizations, magazines, and Indigenous clients.
In my writing, I typically cover Native art, and design, and fashion. I have written for First American Art Magazine, Hyperallergic, Letterform Archive, the Santa Fean’s Native Arts magazine, the Santa Fe New Mexican’s Indian Market and Legacy magazines, the Peabody Essex Museum’s Connections, and AIGA, among others.
I run the Native Graphic Design Project, which features a growing list of Indigenous designers.
