Nikki designs, illustrates, and makes printable templates for DIY paper toys and paper crafts. Her projects are inspired by old school crafts, a love for the creative process, and the mellow, art-filled afternoons she and her siblings had the privilege of enjoying as kids.

Nikki grew up among artists and educators—both family and friends—and studied Literature and Writing at university. She has had many freelance adventures (as is the nature of careers in the arts), but over the last 10 years has consistently worked with other creatives and nonprofit organizations helping to develop and implement arts-based activities, workshops, and events for kids, teens, and adults.

She also writes fiction and hikes a lot. And of course, she loves animals and books of all sorts.

Her social media presence is super ‘lite’ for the time being, but she has many more designs and a blog in the works that she will post about when the time comes.
