Nightshade Designs is a proud queer, person of color owned small business. Founded in 2017 as a one woman operation, our commitment to quality, authenticity, and badass, one of a kind, made just for you products, Nightshade Designs has quickly become the global leader in custom exotic glitter heels. We have been featured in Forbes, Style Insider, and various other media outlets including movies and TV. You can find us sparking on stages in all 50 states and over 40 countries. Since its inception, our team has grown to a group of three, each working hard and bringing our own special sauce to the operation.

We believe our differences are our magic, which is why we were the first company to create a shade inclusive line of customizable glitter heels for all skin tones. We are proud to outfit the creative misfits of all genders - from pole dancers and sex workers to drag queens and burlesque performers. But what if you're not in the industry? No worries, we've got you! We have made heels for fitness competitors, professional musicians, college grads, and many secretly scandalous school teachers. Our heels are for anyone with a love for shoes, sparkles, and all things sexy!

With a passion for style, a seemingly endless stream of creativity, and a work ethic that can only be described as super human, Natalya Nightshade is a force of nature in the pole dance industry. In addition to being the creative behind your favorite heels, she’s a multi-award winning international performer + competitor, show producer, and movement facilitator. You can find her teaching at her very own studio - Studio Nightshade - in Tampa, FL! Not local? She also teaches virtual pole dance classes through Studio Nightshade Online.
