Maria-Antonia Attaliadis

I’m a multidisciplinary creative leader with a decade of experience at the intersection of fashion, sport, and culture — from the ateliers of Paris to the global stages of Nike and Jordan Brand.

I specialize in crafting immersive brand narratives that move beyond product to build cultural resonance — combining material design, visual storytelling, and strategic foresight. With a foundation in luxury fashion, and a track record of driving global product stories at Nike, I bring a unique lens to creative leadership across physical and digital platforms.

Whether leading cross-functional teams through high-visibility collaborations, concepting new brand identities, or shaping the sensory language of iconic franchises — I translate big ideas into tangible, scalable creative experiences.

I'm passionate about designing futures, championing women, and creating inclusive creative spaces that elevate underrepresented voices.

Open to leadership roles in creative strategy, brand storytelling, and innovation across product, media, tech, and culture.
