Who I Am

My Work

“Nikki was a pleasure to work with and she made our rebranding and new website project an easy, enjoyable process. She’s professional, great at communicating project requirements and giving frequent updates, and has a process that gives her deep understand of the brand and project at hand which allows her to deliver consistent high quality. Even when challenges arose, Nikki rectified them quickly and kept things moving at a great pace. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

“We are so happy with Nikki’s work! She completed the task punctually, and perfectly. We had asked her to do a full etsy shop setup. All of the listings were added in a timely manner (there were a lot!) she was very communicative throughout the whole process, keeping us updated as she completed tasks. she sent us a spreadsheet containing all the information for each listing, which I really liked. 10/10 would recommend her! great price for excellent work. thank you Nikki!!”
