the scoop...

Shantidasa Dev, a.k.a Naja The Nail Guru, spent a lot of her time in Los Angeles painting the nails of pop stars and celebrities all while trying to figure out how to dodge leaving the house and deal with traffic. She enjoys dancing, painting, laughing and getting to the ooey-gooey center of what we are doing here as humans and how to maximize our time (even whilst knowing time does not exist).

"I am a team player, can roll solo, a great listener and capture what you are saying behind the words so they have a beating heart telling your brand's story with aliveness. I meet deadlines, can take feedback & direction, along with taking initiative and write with an engaging voice that even people not interested in the subject at hand continue to read because it pulls them in- by speaking to their listening."

Shanti-d (as her friends call her) has lived a colorful life with many experiences and deep connections with others (including herself), that has formed her writing voice. One editor commented that what she has, “Cannot be taught. That level of honesty and rawness is an editor’s dream.”

SD (for short) is a self-proclaimed, “expert networker” and “the golden retriever of customer service." She truly shines when it comes to showcasing a companies’ vision, bringing it to life through text. A brand’s voice will sing to its audience with the right writer.

Shantidasa, a classically trained chef, tired of smelling like onions and late nights, left the hard streets of Trenton, New Jersey venturing to Los Angeles, CA and "went from food to feet", as an award-winning nail artist, international educator and seasoned salon owner. She is a key-note speaker and published writer, her nail work has been seen on Lady Gaga, Mary J Blige, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Pink, LL Cool J and many more.  are just some of the publications Dev's work has been featured on the cover of Vogue, Seventeen, Allure, LA Confidential, Rolling Stone and more. She holds a Guinness World Record for the most polish changes in an 8-hour period. (with 69 polish changes). Her passion is helping entrepreneurs make consistent CASH from their CRAFT. Achieving this by  coaching thousands of "shy" artists, leading by example, showing  them easy, practical and most importantly, implementable marketing solutions.
