Nyx Bayn, Director of Fashion
Nyx Bayn set out on a mission in March of 2010 to teach herself Photoshop and design clothing templates after her clothing business in Second failed horribly. Nyx's dilemma was not finding ready made templates that fit her vision for fashion. Nyx Bayn had Photoshop conquered by June 2010 and set out to provide quality clothing templates for virtual merchants in Second Life. Nyx came a long way from basic templates to elaborate creation kits -- even design resources such as brushes, styles and patterns used in image editing programs.
Tody...Nyx leads a designing team in a collaborative juncture she founded in 2011 called [NB] Inc., which holds eight designers and numerous stores in several different grids. Nyx enjoys creative design as well as teaching others the knowledge they need to design clothing templates as well as starting and maintaining successful virtual businesses.
