Recognized for his innovative departures from standard metalworking techniques and an experimental aesthetic, Nak Armstrong's award-winning work continues to push the boundaries of design. After more than a decade in the jewelry industry as the co-founder and creative director of a previous jewelry brand, Nak launched his eponymous label in 2011 and it was quickly selected by exclusive retailers worldwide, such as Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman, and featured by national press including W, Instyle, Harper's Bazaar, and Forbes. Most recently, the designer has introduced Nakard, a diffusion line where he explores the bounds of luxe design and wearability in a sterling silver format. Nak has also been the recipient of several prestigious accolades during his career, including the Fashion Guild International Rising Star Award, the Couture International Award for Platinum, and the CFDA Award for Emerging Talent in Accessory Design. Today Nak lives and works with his husband, Walter, and their precocious Italian greyhound, Georgie, in Austin, Texas where the brand is based.
