A born and raised New Yorker & global citizen, Nneya Richards is a fashion maven with a broad experience in public relations, VIP and editorial, starting at 15 years old as a contributing editor of TeenVOGUE magazine and from there, gaining a breadth of experiences at top fashion houses including BCBG MaxAzria Group, Zac Posen and Topshop as well as positions oversees with Milan-based media houses.

In 2012 Nneya Richards founded Double N Rich Creative as a way to offer creative solutions, with an emphasis in fashion, for a variety of fields from family opera to travel destinations. A jane-of-all trades, Nneya balances her love of styling and editorial work — recently holding a post as Fashion Director of New York Observer's Scooter & Scene magazines — with her passion for working with up-and-coming fashion brands from the ground up: aiding with branding, public relations and tastemaker and VIP seeding.

The Azede Jean-Pierre team was then invited to the White House, not only for the Celebration of Design reception, but also to lead a workshop at the White House during the day’s activities.

Through Double N Rich, Nneya is a frequent contributor to Paper Magazine, Luckymag.com, StyleCaster & theVivant.com and Guest of a Guest, as well as a brand ambassador for a variety of beauty and fashion companies.
