Hi! I’m Kita, short for Nikita.

I go by both.

If I had to “pick a lane,” it’s really quite simple: my lane is peace.

Noun-wise, I am a multi-passionate creative human with so many label-affixes that I tend to avoid listing them for the sake of brevity. Many people are great at specialization and love diving headlong in a single chosen direction, but that has never been a viable option for me. I find far too much value in cross-domain synthesis and experimentation to willingly limit my capacity by selecting just one area of focus.

This path likely disqualifies me from traditional academic prestige, and I chose it anyway. I left academia before my ego could destroy me with crippling thoughts of insufficiency and not living up to my potential within an institutional hierarchy. There’s something about hierarchies that keep people with high capacity reaching ever higher without ever arriving, and when I recognized both my cap and the trap it bound me in, I decided to chart my own path.

I recognize that I have tremendous potential, and the best way I’ve ever known to honor it is to honor my breadth. I’m forever grateful to myself for listening to my inner voice through that transition. If you’re reading this and see yourself in it, you don’t need my permission to do the same — but you may find inspiration in what I’ve created here. Never let anyone else’s definition of success drown out your own inner voice. Success gets to look like whatever you decide it does.

As for synthesis — for “who I am” — I’ve found it far more useful to describe how I see, alongside what I do, that allows me to see that way.

I study how systems shape human behavior and consciousness. I’m interested in how inner states scale into collective outcomes. I work across mind, body, culture, and cosmos, synthesizing insights through both my body and my intellect to sate a naturally ravenous curiosity — and to translate what I find into forms that are legible to others: writing, paintings, videos, conversations, and more.

I use whatever tool is appropriate to the layer being addressed. Sometimes I choose the wrong tool, and I gain the benefit of growth by studying my own mistakes. In simpler terms, I’m a lifelong student of life, doing my best to live up to the potential I’ve been given.

All of that said, my work does share a unifying center and through-line.

What anchors me — what keeps me returning to my projects — is a devotion to the belief that peace is possible for humanity. I’m committed to exploring the roots of our collective karma, disentangling them (starting with myself), and building toward a world that works for every living being. I am not alone in this vision, nor could I be if it is to be realized.

Different tools allow me to work at different layers:

Hypnosis is a way of working at the nervous system and subconscious layer.

Energy work is a way of working at the relational and somatic layer.

Politics and ecology are ways of working at the collective coordination layer.

Astrophysics is a way of working at the cosmological meaning layer.

Art may be the most powerful tool of all — capable of moving through all layers simultaneously, or isolating them with intention.

No matter the domain, I keep returning to the same questions: how humans move from fragmentation to coherence; how perception shapes reality at every scale; how peace is built from the inside out; and how systems can be redesigned without violence.

I’m explicit in my bias: I design for peace rather than war. And while war has been tragically prevalent in our past, even the simplest back-of-the-napkin math suggests that it does not belong in a peaceful future.

If you’ve ever struggled to fit into a single category, or felt pressured to collapse your breadth into something smaller in order to be taken seriously, you’re not flawed in that — you’re just wide. And you’re not alone.

Welcome. ✨
